Stanley Anderson 100th Anniversary with Paul Bergmann

The Architecture of Stanley D. Anderson

The Lake Forest Preservation Foundation proudly marks the 100th anniversary of Stanley Anderson’s architectural firm with a special program presented at Gorton Center.

Join architectural historian and former LFPF Board Member Paul Bergmann for an engaging presentation drawn from his book, The Architecture of Stanley D. Anderson. Bergmann explores Anderson’s enduring influence on Lake Forest, with a focus on Deerpath Hill Estates—a neighborhood begun in the late 1920s and celebrated for its French Country, Tudor, Georgian, and Colonial Revival homes.

This recorded program (captured by Blue Sky Video Productions) offers a thoughtful look at how Anderson’s work helped shape the character of Lake Forest and why it continues to matter today.
