Reviews of Glessner House
"Enjoyed the tour and learned so much. Highly recommend visiting--I took away more than what I anticipated. The docent was very knowledgeable and able to respond to my questions."
"I visited this museum during my stay in Chicago in Spring 2022. If you like the unique atmosphere of old houses, you should definitely visit it. The tour guide was amazing, he told us so many interesting things about the house and history of the family. We really enjoyed it! Just check their schedule before going since they are open on specific days only."
"The Glessner House is an amazing location to host a wedding or an event. The courtyard is a great setting for an afternoon or evening reception and guest are just in awe of the space. The staff is easy to work with and the nicest bunch of people I have had the pleasure to work a wedding with. You wont regret hosting your wedding here."
"I went on a tour of this house and was blown away by how many of the things in this house are original to it when the Glessners, the only residents of the house, lived there. It is highly unusual for a historic home to have so many of the original furnishings and decorations, but it is much appreciated by me. The house is lovingly cared for and the tour guide was fantastic, knowing a great deal of information on the house and various pieces that are on display in it. They still have a couple of rooms to restore still, but that in no way should discourage you from visiting this architectural jewel in the revitalized Prairie Avenue District of Chicago."
"This house is amazing. It has been impeccably restored and has an astonishing amount of the original furnishings, thanks to William Tyre & staff's recovery work. If you can get a full private tour, you will not be disappointed."
