- One of Howard Van Doren Shaw's finest interpretations of an English Country estate is Lake Forest's Barrel House, built for Finley Barrel in 1909. Restored beyond its original grandeur and modernized for today's high tech and energy efficient lifestyle, this 7 bedroom, 6 full, 2 half bath home is professionally-decorated in magazine-worthy fashion, so every room and view is a treat to take in. Grand in scale yet ever so inviting, the interior is designed for seamless access to the outdoors, with numerous French doors opening to an Italianate veranda overlooking the sweeping south lawn, or the recessed garden to the east, with a statuary fountain framed in boxwood hedge and roses. This enchanting manor with its signature triple gable facade, introduces a vaulted barrel ceiling along the entry hall that sets the stage for the many treasures to be discovered within. Architecturally and historically-significant, this is where past and present are intertwined.

Lake Forest is such a jewel.
A real beauty
Spent time in that house during my teen years in the 60s. That was my friend Bill Crowe's parents' house. Very nice house with maids quarters and also a large vault for valuables.
My mom Gladys Mattausch worked at this house in the late 1940s in the years before she and my dad got married. She used to have some interesting stories though I have forgotten most of the details.
Lovely!
Perfection
Is this the walgreen estate that just sold?
