It’s the Glencoe Historical Society’s story of the “Big Save”: how, at almost the last minute, GHS was able to work with the village and the park district to find a new site for a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed summer home that was being readied for demolition - and also raised more than $350,000 to move and relocate the historic building. Built in 1913, the cottage was moved in July 2020 to its current location in Park 7N at the corner of Meadow and Maple Hill roads.
What happens next? A panel of GHS members brief the community on the extensive restoration of the exterior of the cottage and the reasons for renaming it Ravine Bluffs Cottage. They also outline the remaining steps necessary to complete the interior renovation so that what was a family dwelling can become a museum focused on Wright’s work in Glencoe. This program is cosponsored by the Glencoe Historical Society.
