"...out of pure accident, every person in the picture seems to cover his face or looks away."
Formerly owned by the nephew of Colonel McCormick of the Chicago Tribune, Chauncey McCormick. More info here.
In 1920, Chauncey and Marion McCormick purchased St. James Farm as a private retreat to accommodate their interests in horses and dairy farming. The McCormicks’ son, Brooks, later transformed St. James Farm into a renowned equestrian facility. Brooks McCormick sold St. James Farm as a life estate to the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County in 2000. The Forest Preserve District officially took possession of the 607-acre property in 2007.
