A fortress stands at the corner of 18th Street and Prairie Avenue.

Its mighty walls guard the storied past of a legendary neighborhood. The Richardsonian Romanesque mansion is unique inside and out. The rough-hewn stones of its exterior conceal a surprisingly warm and innovative interior, and its design perfectly reflects the needs of the Glessner family.
