Best in Glass: The Frank Lloyd Wright art glass in Springfield's Dana-Thomas House

Early in architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s career, he won a commission to design a new home for wealthy Springfield socialite and activist, Susan Lawrence Dana. It was a blank-check project for Wright, who put his design not just on the building, but on the art glass used extensively throughout the house. It’s one of the largest and thematically unified uses of the unique and beautiful iridized glass in any Wright home, and Wright himself considered it his best example of the medium.

I've been inside twice and would still love to go through it again. It's a real treat on the eyes. 😊
