Notes |
In December 1914, Anderson "…wanted to find something modest in the country. And found it - going out at random on the Chicago and Northwestern and getting off at a station whose name promised much: Lake Bluff," according to her autobiography. She and her entourage moved into the Parkhurst Cottage on Ravine and Sunrise, but she was only there for a few weeks because, as noted in the Lake Bluff Chat, "Miss Margaret Anderson, after taking the Parkhurst house on the lakefront for the year, was frozen out and is now in the Butman Cottage." (Dec. 24, 1914.) The Butman Cottage was probably 711 Prospect Ave. In August 1915, Anderson was unable to pay the rent on the Butman Cottage. She and the three adults and two children who lived with her built a colony on the beach between Braeside and Ravina in Highland Park. |
