Frances Willard House, National Historic Landmark in Evanston, Illinois, US.
The Frances Willard House features vertical board and batten siding, decorative gables, and two columned porches in the Carpenter Gothic architectural style.
Built in 1865, the house served as the residence of Frances Willard until 1898, during her leadership of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
The house contains seventeen rooms with oak and walnut flooring, presenting original furnishings that reflect nineteenth-century American social reform movements.
Visitors can explore the house museum during guided tours offered on the first and third Sundays of each month at 1730 Chicago Avenue.
The Literature Building, constructed in 1910 on the property, supported the operations of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union national headquarters.
