The Evolution of Oak Park Coach Houses

September 24, 2017

The Pleasant Home Foundation is pleased to announce a tour of eight coach houses in Oak Park, many of which are open to the public for the first time. This interior, docent-led tour will cover uniquely designed spaces adapted for modern reuse. Guests will view coach houses that have been transformed into a music studio, party room, art museum, residence and more. Additionally, an antique automobile will be featured at each location for viewing (weather permitting).

The event includes a complimentary tour of Pleasant Home, designed in 1897 by Prairie School Architect George W. Maher. The 4.43 acre estate, now a public park, originally included several structures which were razed over 50 years ago, including a conservatory, sculptured fountain, tennis court and, of course, a magnificent coach house. Historic photos of the grounds and structures will be available for viewing.
The tour will take place from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 24. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. at Pleasant Home, 217 Home Avenue, Oak Park, Ill. Tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door; ticket cost is $40.00 for members and $45.00 for non-members.

Proceeds from the tour will benefit the Pleasant Home Foundation and its work to preserve, restore, and operate Pleasant Home.

For more information on the tour, please visit pleasanthome.org. Interior photographs of the coach houses are available upon request.
