| Description |
The Mrs. Isaac D. Adler House in Libertyville (1934). It was designed by her son, noted country house architect David Adler. Mrs. Adler was the daughter-in-law of the architect's namesake David Adler (1821-1905), who immigrated from Bohemia and founded the Wisconsin National Bank. Isaac Adler became president of that company upon the elder David Alder's death uuntil his own death in 1925; the company was liquidated four years later. Mrs. Adler had two surviving children, the younger David Adler and Frances Adler Elkins, who became a prominent female designer and often collaborated with her brother. The house is compartively modest when examining other David Adler works at the time, including the William McCormick Blair Estate and Castle Hill. Mrs. Adler bought the vacant lot in 1930, which already had a Dutch Colonial Revival home built on it. Mrs. Adler had been living in Milwaukee, but moved to Libertyville to be near her son sometime after the death of her husband in 1925. As David Adler's wife died in 1930, it is possible that he moved his mother out there that year to help him deal with his grief. Work began on the property in 1931, almost immediately after Mrs. Adler purchased it. Mrs. Adler died in 1939, and her son took ownership of the property (which was connected, by road, to his own property a few hundred yards away). Upon David Adler's death, the property passed to Frances, who was living in Monterey, California. Uninterested in maintaining the house, she donated the two estates to the town of Libertyville to use as a community center and museum. The association in charge of the property sold Mrs. Adler's portion as a private residence and maintained the rest as a park and cultural center. |
