Designed by renowned architect Henry Ives Cobb, the home was built in 1894 for William Henry Smith, a close personal friend of President Rutherford B. Hayes, who had appointed him Collector of the Port of Chicago in 1877. Years later, Delavan Smith took ownership of the estate followed by Edward Foster Smith, a vice president and director of Swift & Company.
Throughout the years, this spectacular house has been beautifully maintained and updated with extensive renovations and meticulous additions and renovations by Burns & Beyerl Architects within the last 8 years. Great care has been taken to maintain the grandeur and elegance of this classical masterpiece while creating a sense of warmth and “livability” throughout. The home is extremely manageable with only about 7,000 square feet of primary living space on the first two floors. On the 2nd level specifically, there are four Master Suite-type bedrooms, each with updated bathrooms, off a central foyer above the graceful wraparound stairs creating a spacious, yet cozy and logical arrangement. “Lost Rock” is the magical dichotomy of a graceful, comfortable, and warm home inside a grand and awe-inspiring house!
