The Robert A. Millikan House, located at 5605 South Woodlawn Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, is a historic three-story brick building that served as the home of American physicist Robert A. Millikan from 1908 to 1921. During his residency, Millikan conducted groundbreaking research, including his Nobel Prize-winning work, making significant contributions to the field of physics.
Designed in the Prairie School architectural style by Tallmadge Watson, the house retains its original character and stands as a National Historic Landmark, commemorating the period when Millikan conducted his pioneering experiments, such as the oil-drop experiment and the confirmation of the photoelectric effect, which led to his recognition as a leader in American physics.
