Address: 461 North Green Bay Road, Lake Forest

Year built: 1913

Architect: David Adler and Henry Dangler

Original owner: William Ellsworth Clow Jr. and Isabelle Mann Clow

Very near downtown Lake Forest, this late-Georgian inspired
house is noteworthy for being the first home designed by the firm of Adler and
Dangler. Much of the home’s original design is intact as well as the
exterior color combination of yellow stucco with dark green shutters chosen in
1913.

A restrained façade puts the focus on the neoclassical
cornice, fanlight and door surround. The interior features a dramatic
staircase, arched doorways and delicate wood moldings.

Some of the original garden design has been incorporated
into the current landscape.

In 1927, the Clows would go on to have David Adler design a
much grander Deco masterpiece just one block to the north.
