My wife and I visited for the Christmas tour. We loved it so much that we are coming back for the full tour! Docent Steve Scott was the real reason we decided to return again. He gave us a very informative preview into what we would be getting with the full tour. We will be back at Glessner house within a week.

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.

This house is out of this world. Architecturally significant (Henry Hobson Richardson ️️️), and filled with original furnishings and decor. Including some gorgeous William Morris prints.

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.

Glessner house guided tour is amazing. The guide showed the group all the house and told us about Glessner family. It's a very nice opportunity to learn a bit more about how wealthy people used to live decades ago.
