Cleveland-Young International House -- North entry facade

Cleveland Young Int. Center - Exterior

The north entry facade of Cleveland-Young International Center (1998- ), showing the Cotswold Style of the earlier work of architects Anderson & Ticknor (Stanley D. Anderson, '16), formerly a Howard Shaw 91869-1926) associate and the draftsman assigned to Shaw's Lake Forest Hinckley house, 1924, Wisconsin Avenue. Built as Bradley Lodge, a nurses' residence for the then adjacent Alice Home Hospital, it was designed in 1926, shortly after the firm began practicing based in Lake Forest. Tis view shows the half-timbering typical of shaw and Anderson in this period. "Details such as the wooden beams on the front facade of Cleveland-Young evoke the vernacular architecture of Tudor England, creating an inviting sense of domesticity. The yellow stucco and variegated slate roof add attractive elements of color and texture, while the window dormers on the roof and large chimney add to the structure's homey appeal. Perhaps its most attractive elements are the scupper boses on the downspouts, prosaic features designed to manage the flow from more than one sources; those on Cleveland-Young are shaped like tiny castles" (Sara C. Woodbury on Cleveland-Young International House in "Lake Forest College: A Guide to the Campus," 2007, pp. 29-30).
