Chalom 711 Marion Avenue Highland Park, IL 60035 847-432-1865; [email protected] 3 INTRODUCTION: The Village of Lake Bluff, long recognized for its pleasant small town atmosphere and its rich history--having evolved from a religious summer colony into a residential suburb, is also eminently noteworthy for its elegant estate areas. There are four sections of the village that contain mansions and outbuildings designed in a variety of architectural styles by the most significant architects practicing on the North Shore. 1) The first, developed as “Ferry Field and Ferry Woods”, is located on the east side of Moffett Road and extends north from Sheridan Road in Lake Forest to Ravine Avenue; 2) the second, “The North Sheridan Road Estate Area,” is located on the east side of Sheridan Road and begins just past the north edge of the business district at Blodgett Avenue and extend north to the entrance of Shoreacres Country Club; 3) the third, “The Shoreacres Country Club Estate area begins at the southern edge of Shoreacres Country club and extends along Shoreacres Road to include the houses that border the north edge of Shoreacres Country Club, 4) the fourth borders Green Bay Road, extending from the north boundary of Lake Forest to where Lake Bluff meets the southern edge of North Chicago. Shoreacres Country Club. Clubhouse rebuilt by Laurence Booth Many significant architects designed houses in these areas. The familiar names include Solon Spencer Beman, Howard Van Doren Shaw, David Adler, Benjamin Marshall, 4 Stanley Anderson and the prominent East Coast practitioners Delano and Aldrich and Harrie T. Lindeberg. Lesser known but equally competent architects including Ambrose Cramer, Walter Frazier and Jerome Cerny also built or remodeled houses in these areas. A distinguished house by the modernist firm of Keck and Keck and the summer home of award-winning architect Larry Booth are also found in the estate sections. All were built between 1911, when Beman designed “Crab Tree Farm” for Grace and Scott Durand, and 1988, when Larry Booth designed his summer place. These architects designed stunning homes for Chicago’s most prominent citizens. Their clients included meat packers Phillip D.Armour, III, and Lester Armour, steel magnate WilliamV.Kelley and Investment Banker, William McCormick Blair. Nationally-recognized landscape architects, including Jens Jensen, Warren Manning and Ellen Biddle Shipman, played a significant role in beautifying Lake Bluff’s estates. Jens Jensen 5 Lake Bluff’s estate areas are as significant as the sections of the community that reflect its early development history. In 2006, the Village of Lake Bluff, which recognized this, commissioned a survey to better understand the importance of these areas and acquire background material to make thoughtful preservation decisions regarding landmarking and future change. During 2006 and 2007, Susan Benjamin and Julie McKeon, Benjamin Historic Certifications, conducted a historic resource survey. All of the significant estate buildings in these areas were inventoried as well as some non-estate buildings that are associated with the history of the estates or are known to have been designed by important architects. Photographs were taken and research was collected on all the properties. In addition to the survey forms describing and evaluating the buildings, notebooks with considerable research material were assembled to aid in the generation of local and National Register landmark nominations and in making preservation planning decisions. The material can also provide information to home owners interested in the history of their property. A Historic Resource Survey is, by its very nature, ongoing. This survey is designed to be expanded upon to include additional information, as it is uncovered, on the properties surveyed as well as on additional buildings and structures within the survey areas. Gate between Mrs. Carolyn Morse Ely Lawn and Orangerie. No information on its origin. 6 PRESERVATION IN LAKE BLUFF AND THE ROLE OF THE SURVEY The Village of Lake Bluff has an active Historic Preservation Commission that was appointed in 2004. Since that time the Commission has approved a total of 15 properties for designation as Lake Bluff Landmarks. One estate property, Stonebridge—the William V. Kelley Estate--is a local landmark. In addition, five Lake Bluff estate properties have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the Lester and Leola Armour House at 700 Arbor Drive, the Phillip D. Armour, III, House at 900 Armour Drive, the Mrs. Carolyn Morse Ely House at 111 Moffett Road, the William McCormick Blair Estate, 982 Sheridan Road, and the Howard and Lucy Linn House at 555 Shore Acres Road. Howard and Lucy Linn House All of the historic houses and their associated outbuildings surveyed in this estate survey were found to be Significant for their historical and/or architectural significance and are eligible for listing as Lake Bluff Landmarks because they are important to the estate development of the community. Many, because of their excellent integrity, are clear, candidates. But even those that have been altered, such as the outbuildings to the Ely Estate or the Gate Lodge at Tangley Oaks, were significant elements on the estate properties and retain sufficient integrity to express their original use. Some Lake Bluff estate properties, including the William J. Quigley, Jr., House at 800 Green Bay Road; the Ralph H. Poole House at 1010 Green Bay Road; the William V. Kelley Property at 136 Green Bay Road; the Phelps Kelley House at1650 Green Bay Road; the Conway Olmsted House at 1 Moffett Road; the section of“Crab Tree Farm” that includes the original buildings designed by Solon S. Beman, at 982 Sheridan Road; the Edward Blair House at 925 Sheridan Road, and the Frederick Winston House at 1780 7 Shoreacres Road are potential strong candidates for listing on the National Register. “Lansdowne, the Harry B. Clow Estate, at 128 Moffett Road, would have been an excellent candidate if the important Jens Jensen landscape elements were not being removed and the property being subdivided. It is unlikely that Shoreacres Country Club would be a candidate for either national or local landmarking at this time because the clubhouse, along with all club records, were destroyed in a disastrous fire in 1984. It was, nevertheless, sensitively rebuilt by architect Laurence Booth, with minor changes. “Lansdowne”. Road leading through Jensen-designed landscape to Harry B. Clow House Since the 1950s, some of Lake Bluff’s significant large estate houses, like that designed for Stanley Field have been demolished. Landmarking the existing properties will draw public attention to their significance in the history of Lake Bluff. Documenting their significance in a historic survey is an important step toward preparing nominations for listing these properties as local landmarks. When taking this step it is important to review the smaller outbuildings associated with the main house as well as the surrounding landscapes and structures including gate posts and walls and carefully consider also designating them. Subdivision is also addressed in this report. In addition to discussing the importance of the buildings in Lake Bluff’s estate areas, whenever important landscape or hardscape elements have been pointed out in this survey, their retention should be a priority if an estate property is proposed for subdivision or further resubdivision. Often difficult planning decisions need to be made. The Historic Preservation Commission will have 8 background material from the survey information so that the Commission may present testimony to advocate preservation of the estate houses, outbuildings and the significant features that are a part of an estate property.

  • Lake Road Walking Tour Lake Forest, IL About Lake Road
    Houses of Lake Road Walking Tour Lake Forest, IL About Lake Road 1881 map • Lake Road is one of the very few straight roads in the park-like, curvilinear Plan of Lake Forest by landscape designer Almerin Hotchkiss (1857), running north-south across the deep ravines alongside the steep Lake Michigan bluff edge. The bluffs here rise 50’ to 100’ above the lake. • Due to the riparian nature of the landscape, many homes along Lake Road are located much closer to the street’s edge than elsewhere in east Lake Forest. • Most of the earliest homes and estates in town were built further inland, closer to the railroad station or Lake Forest University. The now- demolished Amzi Benedict residence (see 810 Lake Road) was an exception. • It was during the country estate era of the 1890s and early 1900s that home sites began to populate Lake Road, both the result of new development from Chicagoans building summer places and the subdivision of larger parcels by second-generation Lake Foresters. Few of the homes from this period are extant (see Ioka, Briar Hall, House in the Woods) – Halcyon Lodge (1350 Lake Road) is an exception. • Most homes on this tour come from one of three periods: pre-WWI 1910s (Shaw, Adler); mid-1920s-1930s (Adler, Frazier, Lindeberg, Anderson); or 1950s-1960s (Frazier, Colburn, Cerny, Milman). The Tour Start at the south end of Lake Road (south of Spring Lane) and walk north toward Lake Forest Cemetery Notes: • Some listed homes have been demolished; others may not be visible due to vegetation or fences/walls.

    A HIDDEN COLLECTION HELEN BALFOUR MORRISON: Masterful Modern 401 LEE ROAD NORTHBROOK, IL 60062 P 847 291 9161 F 847 291 1867 HELEN BALFOUR MORRISON Photographer Helen Balfour Morrison (1901-1984) started as a commercial photographer in Evanston, Illinois, but took up her camera as a serious artist in the 1930s. Rockwell Kent sat for her and introduced her to Bill Kittredge at the Lakeside Press, who suggested she do a book on Great Americans. In the 1930s she began seeking out notable personalities, most of whom she approached and asked to photograph, often doing several sittings in a day. She also photographed people in all walks of life – individuals, families, and children. In the 1940s, the work continued from her new home in Northbrook. In the 1950s she set this work aside and primarily photographed the modern dancer, Sybil Shearer, with whom she had developed a collaborative artistic partnership. The Morrison-Shearer Foundation in Northbrook, Illinois, now holds these collections. The unusual nature of Morrison’s portraits became evident early in her career. J.B. Neumann, of the New Art Circle Gallery in New York, said in 1946, “Mrs. Morrison photographs the soul.” That same year David Daiche, Scottish literary historian then at the University of Chicago, put it this way: Helen Balfour Morrison, Self Portrait Anyone who has seen Helen Morrison at work will appreciate the amount of effort and energy she devotes to the task of getting her subjects to symbolize themselves in a manner which the camera can capture. She does this without arousing any suspicion in the person being photographed that a deliberate “drawing out” is taking place.
