David Adler remodeled the buildings for his mother between 1930 and 1933.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the property as a high-style Dutch Colonial Revival remodeling of a small vernacular farmhouse by architect David Adler, with a formal landscape tying the buildings together. It shows Adler's use of Colonial Revival forms shaped by his Beaux Arts training, and it was once linked to his own nearby country estate. The house, outbuildings and landscape retain excellent integrity.","narrative":"This Libertyville property on North Milwaukee Avenue is a Dutch Colonial Revival house with outbuildings and a formal landscape, set on about three acres near the Des Plaines River. Architect David Adler remodeled a small vernacular farmhouse into a symmetrical, clapboard-sided home for his mother between 1930 and 1933, adding landscape features in 1934. The center block has a gambrel roof and a broad front pediment with an oval window, flanked by glazed porches. Adler also reworked the barn/garage and designed two matching octagonal buildings, a tool shed and a pump house, at the end of an oval entrance drive. Ralph E. Griswold prepared a planting plan for the garden. The property is significant as an example of Adler's Colonial Revival work, shaped by his Beaux Arts training, and it was once connected to his own estate nearby. The house, outbuildings and surrounding landscape retain excellent integrity and remain a private residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"David Adler (architect); Ralph E.
