David Adler’s French influenced Art Deco design for Clow House (1927) in Lake Forest, Illinois, with interiors by Frances Elkins and Eyre de Lanux.

Photo 1: The great hall is defined by a Scandinavian-inspired Art Deco coved ceiling and furnished in silver screen worthy glamour by Eyre de Lanux.

Photo 2: The grid-pattern paneled dining room designed by Eyre de Lanux is pure luxe.

Photo 3: Frances Elkins’ elegantly sober classical interpretation for the great hall.

Photo 4: David Adler’s simplified classic façade, featuring a forecourt bounded by spare, squared gray limestone columns with parallel metal rods between echoes Josef Hoffmann’s 1913 tea house courtyard for Vienna’s Villa Primavera.
