Drake Hall - A 1909 Arts and Crafts Architectural Masterpiece

Drake Hall was constructed in the Arts and Crafts style for one of the wealthiest businessmen in the state of Iowa named D.C. Bradley in 1909. The 13,000+ square foot Gilded Age mansion was crafted using only the finest materials by the most experienced craftsmen and features a uniquely eclectic Arts and Crafts architectural blend of Dutch Colonial, Richardsonian Romanesque, Prairie School, Craftsman and Japanese influences.

So amazing, when it was Bradley Hall I loved shopping there and wished I had paid closer attention to all the details. I watched this 3 times-the stained glass is breath taking

Beautiful Home

The upper mid-west version of Gamble House in Pasadena Ca built by Greene and Greene. But all the furniture in amble House is arts and crafts appropriate-not so here. But the wood, the glass, beveled and stained is fantastic.
