About the event

Plaques & Perspectives
Join Wright in Kankakee for Plaques & Perspectives, a plaque rededication event in memory of Stephen Small, former owner of the B. Harley Bradley House.

From 3-4 p.m. on Sunday, October 12, the public is invited to visit the historic home at 701 S. Harrison Ave., Kankakee, to hear remarks from three renowned architects, John Eifler, Gaines Hall, and Bob Bohlmann.

• John Eifler served as the project architect for the restoration of the Charnley House, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan in 1892. Small retained Eifler as a historical preservation architect when he began restoring and using the facilities.
• Gaines Hall is a local architect who formerly owned the Bradley House and restored it with his wife, Sharon.
• Bob Bohlmann is the current Executive Director of Wright in Kankakee. In the 1970s and '80s, Bohlmann worked with Small and his family, and he will share the positive effects of Small's work and the impact he still has on the Bradley House.

The free event provides the perfect opportunity to visit Frank Lloyd Wright's first prairie-style home while enjoying refreshments.
