Dana house builds a following

[OCT. 16, 2000]  Although the Dana-Thomas House in nearby Springfield is the best preserved and most complete example of acclaimed architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s early Prairie-style houses and has gained national attention in past years, it has failed to garner strong support from several facets of the central Illinois community, according to site officials. The state historic site, located at 301 E. Lawrence Ave., features more than 100 pieces of original Wright-designed white oak furniture; 250 art glass doors, windows and light panels; and 200 original light fixtures and skylights.
