Designed in 1900 by Frank Lloyd Wright and built by Charles Childs, it was completed in 1901.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the property is locally significant under Criterion C as an outstanding example of Prairie School architecture by master architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It is described as among the first and most complete Prairie-style designs, integrating art glass, furnishings and landscaping. Its cruciform plan became one of two basic plans Wright used throughout the next decade.","narrative":"Built in 1900-01 for Anna Hickox Bradley and her husband B. Harley Bradley, this two-story stucco house and its rear stable stand on a riverfront lot on Harrison Avenue in Kankakee. Frank Lloyd Wright designed it, and Charles Childs built it. A neighboring house was designed for her brother, Warren Hickox Jr. The house has a low cross-gabled roof with broad overhangs, bands of wood trim, ribbons of art glass windows and a cruciform plan. A breezeway links it to the stable, which once housed horses, buggies and servants' quarters. Later uses included a restaurant, and the stable served as a birdhouse factory and cocktail lounge. The property is recognized for its architecture, as an early and complete example of Wright's Prairie style, in which windows, furnishings and landscaping were designed together. Some original glass was sold in the 1980s, but recent restoration has returned the floor plan and stable to the original design, and about a quarter of the material is new.","period_of_significance":"1900-01","architect_builder":"Frank Lloyd Wright - architect; Charles Childs - builder","architectural_style":"Late 19th & Early 20th Century American Movements / Prairie School","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Restored to Wright's original plans by the owners who bought it in 2005; the house and stable are in overall excellent condition, with the stable used as a gift shop with offices and storage upstairs.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:37.480107-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/37/8932/28893237/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/09000374.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09000374/7572cce643-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09000374/7572cce643-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Teemu08","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:B._Harley_Bradley_House_and_Stable.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Teemu08</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:B._Harley_Bradley_House_and_Stable.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"86001488","name":"Riverview Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/illinois/riverview-historic-district-86001488/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28893237","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._Harley_Bradley_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4834015"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/kankakee-county/bradley-b-harley-house-and-stable-09000374/"}
