Historical Photo Guessing Game: Westmoreland Estate Stood Behind These Lake Forest Gates

Weekly posting celebrates Lake Forest's 150th anniversary.

Westmoreland, the A. B. Dick estate, was designed by James Gamble Rogers in 1902.

The estate was torn down in the 1940s when the Dick family donated 23 acres for the building of Lake Forest Hospital. The gates are extant.

Thanks for the comments on the gates, and for filling the rest of us in on the great history behind these properties.
