The first Finley Barrell estate of ca. 1913, 855 E. Rosemary Rd., included on the west side of Sheridan Rd. service buildings given to Lake Forest Academy in 1940 and in turn transferred to Lake Forest College in 1948, the east end of South Campus. In recent years the College also has owned two houses on Sheridan Rd. facing South Campus near Rosemary Rd.  The one on the southeast corner of Rosemary and Sheridan, a 1950s ranch house, was designed by Bertrand Weber, Highland Park, and a former (1920s) associate of architect Howard Van Doren Shaw (1869-1926).  South of this is a two-story ranch styled house formerly the home of late trustee James and his spouse Peggy Vail, now of Lake Forest Place. 

On south Campus Hixon Hall and the Carr Theater formerly was the garage and staff lodge, above, of the Barrells, later the Hixons.  The south-facing Arts & Crafts windows recall Edwin Lutyens' Deanery (England), as does the balustgrade of the 1909 Glen Rowan, 500 N. Sheridan Rd. (See Lake Forest College: A Campus Guide (2007).
