The Edith Farnsworth House is a National Historic Landmark designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and completed in 1951 as a private weekend retreat along the Fox River in Plano, Illinois, approximately 58 miles southwest of Chicago. The 1,500-square-foot glass pavilion — elevated above the floodplain on white steel columns, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls on all sides — sits within a 62-acre estate of mature trees and landscaped riverfront grounds. Private event rentals are available seasonally on the deck, terrace, and lawn surrounding the House. Gatherings of up to 20 guests may be hosted at the House itself; larger receptions move to the outdoor grounds, with the option to erect a tent on the eastern portion of the property. An exclusive list of licensed caterers serves on-site events, and alcoholic beverages are permitted with licensed bartending staff. The estate also includes a visitor center and the Barnsworth Gallery, offering a distinctive setting for corporate receptions, cocktail parties, intimate ceremonies, and milestone celebrations set against one of the most celebrated works of 20th-century architecture.
