We visited here as it was on the Frank Lloyd Wright map, and although he wasn't the architect, we were still interested to see the work of one of his contemporaries. We were greeted by Theresa, who took us on a tour of the whole house which lasted around an hour and a half. Theresa was so lovely and it was an absolute pleasure to meet and be guided by her. She was so knowledgeable about the house and the families who had lived there, and my partner and I walked away feeling like we had learned so much. The house itself is full of surprises and interesting quirks, and Theresa did a brilliant job of bringing it to life for us. We absolutely loved our time there, but also feel sad that a house of such historical importance isn't receiving the funding needed to fully restore it. I really recommend taking this tour, as not only will you enjoy learning about this amazing house, you will also be helping to preserve its place in history.

Pleasant Home was an impromptu stop, the grounds were beautiful and drew me in. Three staff was inviting, pleasant and knowledgeable. They were eager to discuss the history and show me all the treasures of the home itself. I was in a time crunch so couldn't benefit from the full tour, but they aren't me off with some free postcards and a fabulous seranade from the original jukebox of sorts. The tour was free but donations are welcome.

There downstairs is a beautiful venue. It's always lovely to visit when they have an open house event.A bit strange that they renamed the home based on the home being at the intersection of Pleasant and Home.

We had our wedding reception on the front porch of Pleasant Home in June, just as COVID-19 restrictions opened up. It can accommodate 100 guests and we had a total of 70 guests. It's a lovely setting, surrounded by beautiful gardens. In the evening, the porch is illuminated by lighting that accentuates the architectural details of this elegant Prairie Style mansion. We loved working with the building's manager, Susan Crane, who was so accommodating and helpful. We selected one of the park district's preferred caterers, Catered by Design, which did a magnificent job in preparing a beautiful meal, served by its professional staff. Pleasant Home and its surrounding park is a jewel!
