Daniel H. Burnham and Prairie Avenue

Glessner House Museum

This exhibit will focus on the early career of Burnham & Root, beginning with the 1874 commission for the John Sherman house at 2100 S. Prairie Avenue. It was during the design and construction of this residence that Burnham met and married Sherman's daughter Margaret. Upon completion of the house, the Burnhams resided with the Shermans until the early 1880s.
