Designed by architects William Gray Purcell and George Grant Elmslie in 1913, the house exemplifies the Prairie School style with its horizontal lines and open interior spaces.
The house features over 80 original stained glass windows, designed to harmonize with the natural surroundings and enhance the interior light.
In 1985, the house was gifted to the museum, which now manages it as a historic property and offers public tours.
The architects designed the house with an open floor plan, a novel concept at the time, to create a sense of spaciousness and flow between rooms.
The house's design reflects the Arts and Crafts movement's emphasis on craftsmanship and simplicity, evident in its built-in furniture and handcrafted details.
The house was designed to blend seamlessly with its environment, featuring a low profile and extensive use of natural materials.
