Fabyan Villa, Prairie School architecture museum in Geneva, United States
The Fabyan Villa features three verandas, cathedral-style windows, and open floor plans designed according to Frank Lloyd Wright specifications in 1907.
George and Nelle Fabyan transformed their property into a 300-acre estate between 1905 and 1939, including gardens, laboratories, and recreational facilities.
The museum displays the original furnishings, personal collections, and photographs documenting the lifestyle of the Fabyan family during the early 20th century.
Guided tours of the villa cost 10 dollars per person and occur at 11 AM on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from May through October.
The property contained the first privately owned research facility in the United States, which became a center for cryptology during World War I.
