Oh, Jim! My favorite was the first one, that wasn't so huge, and just appealed more to me. I LOVED that the dog appeared in every room as they went through it.

I wish I had counted how many times the man talking with the realtor said, 'Oh, WOW!' in the second house. :-)

Thanks for sharing these! Such history, especially with the Schweppe/Shedd home--what a match that was.

Thank you for sharing two beautiful homes. I loved touring them and the wonderful elements in each one.

My brother lives in Lake Forest - I've driven past the Schweppe mansion many times. It's a gorgeous area, many historic, celebrated homes.
