A very sweet modernist ravine- and lake-side house has just sold in Lake Forest for $2.1M, or just 40% of the owner's total investment, reports Chicago Mag's Dennis Rodkin. Even more interesting, the place has an architectural lineage that loosely traces to Frank Lloyd Wright. You see, this home's architect, Robert Roloson, Jr., is the son of Robert W. Roloson, a notable patron of Wright's who commissioned a row of four pointy town houses on the 3200 block of South Calumet Avenue in The Gap. That good 'ol penchant for experimentation seems to have bled through the generations, arriving at this newer work. Read more about it. [Chicago Mag]
