Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum
Villa Terrace
An Italian Renaissance-style villa on a lakeside bluff, with a stepped garden leading down to Lake Michigan, perfect for photos.
Villa Terrace was built in 1923 in the style of a Lombard villa in Italy and now serves as a decorative arts museum, displaying furniture, ironwork and ceramics. Its highlight is the Renaissance-style water-stair garden that descends the lake bluff in tiers, with views over Lake Michigan. It is often used as a wedding venue in summer. Admission is about $10. Located on the lakefront in the East Side, it is not far from North Point Lighthouse and Lake Park.
