| Additional Comments |
"Circa 1910. Tudor Revival. The Dr. W. H. MacDonald House was designed by the famous Chicago architect, Daniel Burnham. Note the half-timbers, stucco exterior and small-paned leaded windows throughout the house that frame lovely views of the lake. There are steeply-pitched gables that are characteristic of the style. The doctor used several of the seventeen rooms of the house for his office, and lived in the rest of it with his wife, Florence, until his death in 1951."
