Description

This March 1999 color photo of the north, entry, facade of Cleveland-Young Intnl Center, as so named in 1998. The 1892, etc. FAcilities Management Building can be seen partially in the background.  Built as Bradley Lodge in 1926 and designed by 1916 alumnus Stanley D. Anderson (Anderson & Ticknor), it served as a nurses' residence to 1942, when the Alice Home cottage hospital moved to west Lake Forest. It then housed faculty apartments and women students, was a science honor house for men in the 1960s and early 1970s, and became the Phi Pi Epsilon local fraternity house, 1975. In 1998-99 it was renovated as Cleveland-Young under College staff direction. "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 iin "Lake Forest College: A Guide to the Campus," 2007, pp. 29-30).
