Architectural Lake Forest: A Guide to National Register Historic Districts and Properties in Lake Forest, Illinois is an essential resource for anyone who values the architectural and landscape legacy of Lake Forest. Authored by local archivist, historian, and preservationist Arthur H. Miller, this newly released 2022 soft-cover edition offers an in-depth look at the places that define the city’s historic character.
Published by the Lake Forest Preservation Foundation, the book features architectural information, historical context, and photographs of more than 260 remarkable properties throughout Lake Forest. Part guidebook and part reference manual, it explores National Register historic districts while highlighting iconic homes, buildings, and landscapes that together tell the story of Lake Forest’s architectural heritage.
More than a survey of beautiful places, Architectural Lake Forest stands as a testament to the importance of preservation—documenting the visual and cultural fabric of Lake Forest and underscoring why it must be protected for future generations.
Arthur H. Miller is emeritus Archivist and Librarian for Special Collections at Lake Forest College. He is the author, co-author, and editor of numerous books and articles on Lake Forest history, architecture, and landscape architecture, and a two-time President of the Foundation who now serves as an honorary director.
