The Kersey DeRhodes House is a Classic Prairie-style home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his good friends Kersey and Laura DeRhodes. The DeRhodes family was prominent in South Bend business and banking circles. Mrs. DeRhodes lived in the house until her death in 1952 and left the house to the First Methodist Church. It in turn was sold in 1954 to the Avalon Grotto before being transitioned back to a private residence during the 1970s.
