Welcome to the Dana-Thomas House
"In 1902, Frank Lloyd Wright was commissioned to undertake the design and construction of a massive renovation of the Lawrence family home in Springfield, Illinois. The home was to be more than a mere residence -- it was to be a showcase. Upon its completion in 1904, the new edifice completely engulfed the original home. It immediately became a symbol of artistic and architectural excellence. It now stands as the finest example of the creativity and uniqueness characteristic of the Prairie School of Architecture." From Governor James R. Thompson's Executive Order August 23, 1983.

The Dana-Thomas House has returned to regular operating hours, Wed-Sun, 9 AM - 4 PM, following an extensive renovation project. The Sumac Shop, located in the Carriage House, has also resumed these hours of operation.
