Save Keck and Keck's Historic Blair House in Lake Bluff, IL

The Issue

The Blair House at Crabtree Farm must be recognized for its historical and architectural significance. The demolition of this property should not be an option. Please approve the landmark designation, which will delay the current demolition request and provide more time for a more preservation minded buyer to purchase the property. The 1950's Keck and Keck designed landmark house is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and is recognized as one of the most important mid century era homes in Lake Bluff, the North Shore, and the Greater Chicago region. I strongly urge you to delay this demolition request through the landmark designation process, which is the only option available at this time.
