Wow! House: Own Hyde Park's Heller House, and Own a Piece of Frank Lloyd Wright's Legacy
This 7-bedroom national landmark is back on the market, but you'll need almost $2.5M to live in this historic home.
CHICAGO, IL — Ever want to live in a national landmark? Here's your chance if you're willing to pony up nearly $2.5 million.
The Isidore Heller Home, a seven-bedroom, 6,100-square-foot Hyde Park house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1896, went back on the market in November of 2016, and it combines elegance, history and livability. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and named a National Historic Landmark in 2004, the home showcases Wright's Prairie style architecture.
But Wright's design isn't the home's only artistic touch. It also features a third-floor plaster frieze by sculptor Robert Bock, an associate of Wright's.
