Commissioned in 1916 and completed in 1918, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Allen House is named after its first owners, newspaper publisher Henry Allen and his wife, Elsie. It was the last of the architect’s famous brick prairie houses, which emphasized horizontal lines, earth tones and a continuous blending of interiors with exteriors.Add Frank Lloyd Wright's Allen House and other attractions to your Wichita trip itinerary using our Wichita holiday planner.

We booked our tour online and then just used our name to check in. The main tour guide seemed to be a bit hesitant in her presentation however the second guide was very good. The house is outstanding and once again Frank Lloyd Wright was ahead of his time! If it weren't so hot we could've spent more time in the garden as it is beautifully restored. It was very disturbing to learn things are being stolen out of the house during the tours, shame on the people taking bits of history! This is well worth the admission!

I loved visiting Architectural Sites . The Administrater was a friend and previous partner in an architectural firm so it was nice to visit with him and his daughter who assists him. This is the third time being there. I never get tired of seeing the talent of design either in buildings or art works.
