It began as an old inn that the Lloyd family acquired and restored in 1878, with later additions.","why_significant":"The house was the home of Henry Demarest Lloyd, a leading critic of industrial monopoly and trusts in the late 1800s. He wrote Wealth Against Commonwealth (1894), supported labor causes, and defended those accused in the Haymarket affair. The Wayside also hosted many reformers and public figures, and Lloyd's third-floor study survives virtually unchanged.","narrative":"The Wayside, at 830 Sheridan Road in Winnetka, Illinois, is a two-and-one-half story red brick house with white trim and a blue shingled roof. It faces Lake Michigan across Lloyd Park, once part of the property. A wraparound wooden porch, a porte cochere, and board-and-batten outbuildings, including a barn with a children's gymnasium from about 1896, complete the grounds. The Lloyd family restored the house in 1878 from a deserted inn. It was the home of Henry Demarest Lloyd, a journalist and reformer who criticized industrial monopolies and trusts. His 1894 book, Wealth Against Commonwealth, became a landmark in antimonopoly writing. He also backed labor unions and worked to commute death sentences after the Haymarket affair. Visitors included Governor John P. Altgeld, Booker T. Washington, and Jane Addams, who called the house an annex to Hull House. Lloyd's third-floor study, added in 1886, remains virtually unchanged, with his desk and books.","period_of_significance":"1878-1903","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; described as little changed since about 1900, with the original site retained.
