One of Howard Van Doren Shaw's finest interpretations of an English country estate is Lake Forest's Barrell House, built for Finley Barrell in 1909. Restored beyond its original grandeur and modernized for today's high tech and energy efficient lifestyle, the home is professionally decorated in magazine-worthy fashion, so every room and view is a treat to take in. Grand in scale yet ever so inviting, the interior is designed for seamless access to the outdoors, with numerous French doors opening to an Italianate veranda overlooking the sweeping south lawn, or the recessed garden to the east, with a statuary fountain framed in boxwood hedge and roses. This enchanting manor with its signature triple gable facade, introduces a vaulted barrel ceiling along the entry hall that sets the stage for the many treasures to be discovered within. Architecturally and historically significant, this is where past and present are intertwined for an outcome that is simply Van Doren Shaw inspired.
