We were driving down the freeway and saw signs for this Frank Lloyd Wright house so we decided to stop. Unfortunately you must prebook tours online but luckily Laura (I think that was her name) was so nice and even let us inside the gift shop and gave us some information about the barn.

Beautiful piece of history! The B. Harley Bradley House was simply beautiful. Strategically placed right on the river, this house has so much history to share. The architecture in this house is a perfect representation of Frank Lloyd Wrights meticulous style. I hope to come back to take a boat tour in the or summer months.

My husband and I took the extended tour of this beautiful home. The house is a stunning example of Wrights prairie-style. It has an amazing history and was used as a factory and restaurant too, and restored to its original architectural glory in 2006.Make sure to visit the gift shop, which occupies the original coach house. While there, view the photos taken at the time that the restoration began. Knowledgeable staff and educational experience.

They did a good job restoring it back to its former state. Sadly they dont have the original furniture due to past owners decisions. Also it gets rented out occasionally to be used for events so it is not the most true to history because it serves other purposes now. I would suggest coming to learn the history and enjoy the beautiful views of the river front.

This is a great place to see history that was made local. The story of how Bradley Illinois got its name ties into Frank Lloyd Wright. This is the only place where two Frank Llyod Wright prairie style homes sit right next to each other! Great tours of the home.

Went here for a school field trip and absolutely loved it. The tour guide was super passionate about the place and there is a lot of interesting information about the house. I highly recommend anyone to get a tour and learn about it.

The beautiful B. Harley Bradley House sits right near the edge of the Kankakee River in Kankakee, IL and the scenery is quite lovely. If you love exploring architecture, historic homes or are fascinated by the works and mind of Frank Lloyd Wright, this is a must see when visiting the area. It is one of his first prairie style homes and quite possibly is the first. His unique style always blended the natural world with his architecture. Stop in for a 45+ minute tour, discover the stories of the original owners and those who followed, and learn about Wrights personal life, architecture and notoriety. Be sure to stop in the gift shop either before or after the tour. By the way, a privately owned FLW prairie style home sits right next door to this one. Although it cant be visited inside, hear just a little about its history as well.

Beautiful home. One correction to the tour however, that I learned while in Oak Park. There are more sets of FLW homes that are adjacent to each other. Our guide said that it was the only place to occur.

Fun to tour through Frank Loyd Wrights first Prairie Style home. Very knowledgeable guide took us through on a long tour. The grounds are very nice, right on the shore of the large Kankakee River. Big trees provide lots of shade with beautiful scenery and scope for the imagination.
