Pleasant Home
Enjoy refreshments on the porch of this landmark
Prairie Style house museum located in the heart of Oak Park, one the nation’s
most architecturally significant villages. Pleasant Home is a national
architectural treasure, designed in 1897 by prominent Prairie Style architect
George W. Maher for investment banker and philanthropist John W. Farson. The
home is one of the earliest and most distinguished examples of Prairie School
architecture and is the finest surviving example of Maher’s work.*
