Brother and sister David Adler (1882-1949) and Frances Elkins (1888-1953) worked on this residence north of Chicago, IL.

This house in the wealthy Chicago suburb of Lake Forest, contained a remarkable library designed by Frances Adler Elkins (1888-1953), that had walls covered in goatskin, a radical design choice for the period. In 2005, the residence was the only remaining that preserved untouched the collaborative work of Frances Elkins and her brother, architect David Adler (1882-1949). (See Eve M.
