Its curving streets, gateways, traffic circle and consistent landscape setting reflect a planned development. Architect Stanley D. Anderson controlled the design, which set a standard for quality that later builders followed.","narrative":"Deerpath Hill Estates is a planned residential neighborhood on the west side of Lake Forest, Illinois, laid out in the 1920s as an English Garden development. It includes an original 20-acre section and part of a First Addition on the former McKinlock estate. Curving streets, cul-de-sacs, a traffic circle, stone gateways and bronze-lantern streetlights on cast concrete poles give the area a consistent character. Architect Stanley D. Anderson designed the monuments and several early houses, and reviewed designs by other architects, which kept construction quality and appearance consistent. Pre-Depression houses show a range of revival styles, including French Norman, Cotswold, and Colonial. Ranch and split-level houses built from 1950 to 1961 followed the same setbacks and landscaping. Later houses from 1962 onward are counted as non-contributing. The district contains 35 contributing houses, 3 contributing structures and 11 contributing objects. Most houses keep their original footprints, with few additions and little use of aluminum or vinyl siding.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Stanley D.
