Book Your RideAbout Kankakee — Where Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie Style Took Its First Steps
The city’s name likely comes from a Miami-Illinois word, teeyaahkiki, roughly meaning “open country” or “land exposed to view” — a fitting description of the flat prairie landscape that once surrounded this bend of the Kankakee River. Settled in 1853 and incorporated as a city in 1865, Kankakee grew into the county seat of Kankakee County. But its most unexpected claim to fame sits quietly in the Riverview Historic District: the B. Harley Bradley House, built in 1900–1901 by a young architect named Frank Lloyd Wright.
The Bradley House — along with its neighbor, the Warren Hickox House, also designed by Wright — is one of two homes architectural historians point to as the very first Prairie School residence Wright ever built to his own specifications, its long bands of windows and low, horizontal roofline drawing directly from the tallgrass prairie around Kankakee. Of the home’s original 90 art-glass windows, 82 survive intact today, and the nonprofit Wright in Kankakee now gives public tours of the property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it true Frank Lloyd Wright’s first Prairie-style house is in Kankakee?
It’s one of two strong contenders — the B. Harley Bradley House, built here in 1900–1901, competes with a home in Highland Park for the title of Wright’s first true Prairie School residence. The Bradley House still has 82 of its original 90 art-glass windows and is open for public tours.
Does the $159 rate change depending on which part of Kankakee I’m in?
No — $159 is the flat sedan rate for any pickup within Kankakee city limits, regardless of the exact address. It does change if you choose an SUV, minivan, or black car instead of a sedan.
