Summary

Description
English: Built in 1894 by and for the family of Wilmot Lake

using a pattern book design, the Lake House is a two- and-one-half story, cross-gabled frame house with fine Queen Anne-style details. It is distinguished by a three-story octagonal tower, novelty shingle siding, and a lacework veranda with spindle frieze. From 1919 to the late 1950s, this house served as the parsonage of the Berwyn Presbyterian Church. It is now the only Queen Anne-style dwelling surviving in the 1890 Central Heights subdivision.
