Lake Forest College -- Buildings

This is a page from a College publicity or admissions brochure showing the Alice Home Hospital designed by Frost and Granger architects, 1899, and built on North Campus, facing west to Lois Durand Hall. The College focus leads to the title of the image "--Infirmary." Alice Home was an independent organization on College land, a cottage hospital on the mid 19th C. English model for rural areas. It served mostly the local or non-Chicago estate population; the latter normally used the Presbyterian and St. Luke's hospitals in the city. The building is in a half-timbered English Arts & Crafts Style, with a two-storied central block with one-story wings. This style was typical of partner Alfred H. Granger, who designed his own home at 907 N. Sheridan in 1897 and also the City Hall, 1899, and the east side Train Station, 1900, in the same historic and Arts & Crafts style.
