'Fairmore'
'Fairmore', the Mark Skinner Willing residence designed by Frost & Granger c. 1900 in Lake Forest, Illinois and pictured here under the ownership of Mrs. Charles I. Dangler. I am unsure if the house is extant.
here is a link to a great collection of houses/mansions in Philadelphia with short description of each http://www.brynmawr.edu/iconog/king/main6.html enjoy BT
The Willing house was located at 77N. Stonegate Ln. It is reported to have been demolished and the current house at that location does not look anything like the original, although something of the house could have been incorporated as 8:29 suggests. Interestingly, there is a house slightly north, along the lake that seems to be more a possibility, with one of the gables, the dormers and some similar window placement.
Please don't abandon this blog, I prefer exploring the mansions beyond the Gold Coast of LI!
ReplyDeleteIt would appear this is the house...

Sadly no longer standing, though it may be that the current house (ca. 1958) incorporated one of the gable ends into it.
