William W. Kimball House

The William W. Kimball House is a gray limestone mansion characterized by a varied roofline with a series of turrets and gables that define its French Châteauesque style. Built between eighteen ninety and eighteen ninety-two, the residence stands on Prairie Avenue as a representative of the city's Gilded Age. It was commissioned by William Wallace Kimball, a successful piano manufacturer, and designed by architect Solon Spencer Beman.
