Faculty Circle Homes:From Condell to CampusBy Rita Schulien MacAyeal ’87In spring of 1982, Lake Forest Academy was looking at theprospect of adding more campus housing for faculty members.The school became aware that Condell Memorial Hospitalin Libertyville was planning on razing five single-familyhomes on their property as part of an expansion project. TheCondell Board of Directors agreed to give the houses to theschool, provided the Academy paid for the relocation costs.In a mutually beneficial arrangement, Condell would avoidthe cost of demolition and the Academy would be able toprovide additional housing at roughly one-third to one-halfthe estimated cost of new construction. On May 21, 1982, theLFA Board of Trustees officially approved the plan to acceptthe donation and relocate the homes.Over the next six months, the school excavated land near thecampus entrance and created a new cul-de-sac named “FacultyCircle.” Five house foundations were poured and on November17, the first part of the move began: three of thehouses were loaded onto flatbed trucks and moved by GrantHouse Moving Company of Addison, Ill., with police officersfrom Libertyville, Lake Forest, and the Lake County Sheriff’sDepartment managing traffic along the way. In the samemanner, the other two houses were moved on December 17.The moves went very smoothly, with only one broken windowreported in the end.As coincidence would have it, LFA and Condell MemorialHospital have a unique connection from the very beginningof the medical center’s history. One of the original foundersof Condell was Dr. John Lincoln Taylor of Staceyville, Iowa,who graduated in 1888 from the Academy. He set up a highlyregarded obstetrics practice in Libertyville in 1894 andserved as Lake County Coroner from 1900 until his death in1944. Almost 100 years after John Taylor was a student atLFA, the hospital he was instrumental in founding provideda much welcome gift to his alma mater.24 Review Winter 20138 Click: www.lfanet.org
