Barrington Hills Home Put on National Register of Historic Places

Illinois locations placed on the National Register of Historic Places include one nearby:

Louis Fredrick House Barrington Hills, Lake County
Listed June 24, 2019

The original owner, Louis Fredrick, exemplifies the life of many Americans who immigrated to the United States and found success through a combination of hard work, determination, and good luck.

In time, and with great success in the field of contract interior design, he was able to set aside sufficient funding to move with his family from the city to the suburbs where he built his “dream home.”

The Fredrick House likewise relates to the context of Barrington, as a product of suburban growth that transformed a small town to a bedroom community for Chicago, connected by highways and commuter trains.

  1. My first thought is to buy the vacant lot next door and put up a Mexican Pottery Bazaar or Car Salvage Yard.

  2. The invading third worlders will be defecating on the carpets and the fine art in that home will be added to an indoor bonfire.

    The democrats destroy everything.

  3. Been to that house.

    It needs heavy duty tuckpointing.

    Now they’ll have to pay for special permits to do so.
