MORE ABOUT THE HOUSE

The Chandlery is located in West Urbana at 611 W. Oregon Street, Urbana, Illinois. The house is an easy five-minute walk from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus.  

WHY THE CHANDLERY?

A Chandlery is a house of candles. Named after its original owner, Professor W. Chandler Bagley, we love the candle’s imagery of light, warmth, passion, sharing, and illumination, as well as its historical importance to education.

HISTORY OF THE CHANDLERY

The house was built in 1907 in the Craftsman style of the time, with influences of the Tudor Revival. Its architectural style is characterized by its gabled roofs, dark wood framing, stone base and chimney, large front porch, and the narrow port cochere with exposed rafters.
