The MidCentury Architecture blog discovered a listing for this Lake Forest, Illinois house by a Jack Viks, who was apparently a student of Mies Van Der Rohe — a fact made very clear by one glance at the exterior. But it's the interior that is really stunning.


considering the market time(almost 100 days) its a magnificent place. and with two additional lots, a guest house and a 8 car garage... $2.299.000 is a small price to pay..
great find..
it was a pleasure to view the interiors first hand.
