"In its unique convergence of striking topography, wealthy elites, and architectural achievement. Lake Forest, Illinois, has been a landmark of impressive American residential architecture and landscape design for nearly one hundred and fifty years. Situated on Lake Michigan's North Shore, the community drew an extraordinary group of cosmopolitan and wealthy clients who commissioned nationally and regionally renowned architects to design country havens away from the bustle of Chicago.
Classic Country Estates of Lake Forest is the first in-depth study of this richly textured built environment, disclosing the roles of notable design professionals and influential estate owners and examining the creative design theories central to the community's development particularly the careful integration of houses with their surrounding landscape."--Jacket.
