Lake Forest College report to the Getty (PDF) 16.3MB

Located some 30 miles north of Chicago on the bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan, Lake Forest College was designed to take scenic advantage of the site's unique features. The 107-acre campus still preserves much of its original spacious landscape design of rolling oak savanna, and the North and Middle campus are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Funding will help Lake Forest to develop a comprehensive preservation plan to complement a recently completed campus master plan, which will guide it in making informed decisions about its historic buildings and landscapes.

Lake Forest College received a Getty grant in 2004 for $150,000 to support campus heritage planning.

Historic Designation(s): Lake Forest Historic District (National Register of Historic Places).
