[Henry Hobson Richardson, 1887] The radical design of this home created an American style of architecture that influenced the work of Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright and others.

Glessner House is no longer affiliated with the Clarke House museum . Tours are separate.

Clarke House Museum

Clarke House Museum partners with Glessner House to offer tours Wed-Sun! You get a great deal: combo tour of both houses for $15. Senior and student rates available too. Great houses, great history!

Roosevelt Collection

Wander to the backyard of the House and walk through the beautiful courtyard that connects to the Clarke House Museum .
