Frank Lloyd Wright's Famous Emil Bach House Celebrates 100 Years

Chicago, Illinois (June 2015) – Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic Emil Bach House (7415 N. Sheridan Road) is celebrating 100 years! The momentous event will be marked by an anniversary party and open house on June 6, 2015 from 1:00PM to 4:00PM. It will be a special afternoon of tours, refreshments, music (Bach, of course) and the unveiling of a gold and silver commemorative Emil Bach House coin. The State of Illinois has also chosen to honor Emil Bach’s 100th anniversary and will present Proclamations to both the Frank Lloyd Trust and Tawani Enterprises during this noteworthy occasion.

Last year the house was opened to allow design aficionados and visitors an opportunity to experience the style of the celebrated architect. The private residence currently serves as a luxury vacation rental and event space and stands to be one of only a handful of Wright homes available for overnight guests.

Originally built in 1915, the Bach House, unlike many other Wright properties, sits on a small city lot along a busy urban setting. The shape of the structure gives it dynamic qualities with the house being one of a short series of cubic, geometric, slab-roofed homes designed in the early twentieth century. The Bach House was designated a Chicago Landmark on September 28, 1977, and entered into the National Register of Historic Places on January 23, 1979.

The Emil Bach House offers three luxury guest rooms with modern amenities. Living and dining areas are accented with well curated objects and furnishings juxtaposed to highlight the history, architecture and craftsmanship of Wright. Nestled a few feet away from the main house is a Japanese Teahouse for intimate gatherings and entertaining. It serves as a lounge and bar area with Shoji screens that open into the garden and terrace. All of these amenities will be featured during the tours.

The Emil Bach House is a Stone Heritage Property & Tawani Enterprises Project.
