This iconic home was designed by Robert Paul Schweikher, the celebrated modernist architect known for his warm integration of wood, brick, and glass, this pre-midcentury residence at 501 E High Point Road stands among Peoria’s most architecturally significant homes. Completed in 1949 for Ernest and Lucinda Burhans, the home embodies Schweikher’s hallmark style with horizontal rooflines that blend with the landscape, walls of glass that frame the wooded setting, and finely crafted natural materials that bring texture and light to every space. Featured in The American House Today, the design remains a masterclass in organic modernism and quiet sophistication. Offering over 5,100 square feet of living space with 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a 3-car garage, this remarkable residence rests on 3 .5 private acres with stunning views of the Illinois River. Rarely available and lovingly preserved, this property represents a true piece of Peoria’s architectural heritage, a home where art, architecture, and nature live in harmony.
