Barrett. It has three parts. The first holds a 24-room manor house of 1916-1918, a coach house, a formal garden, woods and a small crop field. The manor is built of multicolored wire-cut brick laid in Flemish bond, with a green ceramic tile hipped roof, an elliptical fanlighted portico and a screened porch facing the garden. Rockford architect Charles W. Bradley designed it as predominantly Colonial Revival, with Craftsman touches such as window groupings, wide eaves, ceiling beams and natural-finish woodwork. Across South Bend Road is a 146.5-acre farm still in operation, with a c. 1875 farmhouse, a summer kitchen, a corn crib, a milk house, two silos and barns. The remaining 49.5 acres of woodland now belong to the Indian Hill Forest Preserve. Together they show an early twentieth-century country estate with its farm.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Charles W.
