Adlai E. Stevenson II: Residence, Service Building, and Site, Historic Structure Report and Physical Project Completion Report

A dual Historic Structure Report and Physical Project Completion Report for the home of Adlai E. Stevenson II, this book describes both the 1930's Modernist house and service building surrounded by a beautiful farmstead and the life of its original occupant, an important 20th century political figure. Fully illustrated, this report documents the initial construction, subsequent alterations and recent changes made to the property. Recommendations of an appropriate method of historic preservation treatment based on physical research and an interpretation of the historic context are explained as the basis for the most recent restoration effort.
