The Ben Rose House is a private residence designed by modernist architect A. James Speyer, a student of Mies van der Rohe and built in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, Illinois in 1953.
The property sits "surrounded by trees in a ravine" and "was held up as a model for steel home craftsmanship." Textile artist Ben Rose and his wife, Francis, moved into the property the same year. An adjoining pavilion meant to showcase the Roses' collection of exotic sports cars was added by David Haid, Speyer's student, in 1974. The house was designated an official local landmark in 1987. The two buildings are steel framed, rectangular, glass-and-wood boxes, and similar to Mies' iconic Farnsworth House, are both lifted off the ground on pylons.
