"WRIGHT IN KANKAKEE has rescued, restored and provided public access to the B Harlan Bradley house, one Of Wright’s early (if not the first) Prairie School designs.
Through their efforts and outreach, the house is listed as a stop on the Illinois Frank Lloyd Wright trail and draws visitors from around the world to Kankakee. In addition, they conduct hands-on educational sessions for primary education students. Their impressive grassroots efforts help lift up architecture, the profession and their community." - Terence Moeller, AIA, 2019 President, AIA Illinois
All award winners have positively impacted citizens throughout the state of Illinois by helping create communities in which people are drawn to live and work, and to live healthier and happier.
