1. 575 Lakeland Drive - An eight page write-up in Architectural Digest for the house at 575 Lakeland Drive including the history of the house, and the architect Roy Binkley, the first owner. The 2.8 acre property is located on the former grounds of the Stanley Field estate, which once occupied 33 acres along Lake Michigan. "Instead of clearing the site completely, Mr. Binkley chose to leave some remains of the former estate: an octagonal gazebo; fragments of a brick garden wall ... and a small concrete fish pond." The house "is reminiscent of the cubic simplicity of Mies van der Rohe, under whom [Binkley] studied."
