Historical Photo: Mr. T Brought Notoriety to this Lake Forest Home in 1987

Weekly posting celebrates city's sesquicentennial.

Thanks for your comments, and especially the one about the number of Armour houses in Lake Forest. Thanks, Art, for stepping in to answer.

This Lawrence Armour home in Lake Forest became famous for another reason in 1987 when Mr. T, whose real name is Lawrence Tureaud, cut down more than 100 trees due to his allergies.

Thanks for taking the time to view and comment on the posting.
