The Ben Rose House is a building designed by architect A. James Speyer and featured in the 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Built in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, Illinois in 1953 and designated an official local landmark in 1987, the modernist building was designed by A. James Speyer, who studied under Mies van der Rohe at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
In 1974, Speyer's student David Haid designed an adjoining pavilion as a showcase for the Roses' collection of exotic European sports cars. The pavilion also includes a kitchen and bathroom.
The house was picked by John Hughes for use in Ferris Bueller's Day Off via studio executive Ned Tanen, who was a Ferrari collector and knew Rose.
The Ben Rose House was priced at $2.3 million in 2009, but languished on the market for several years before finally being purchased for $1.06 million in 2014.
