SE corner of W. Belvidere Rd. (Rt. 120) and N. Fairfield Rd., looking SE. Farm is long gone and land became part of the Synnestvedt's Burr Oak Nursery empire, which is also long gone.

Located on the southwest corner of Rt. 120 and Wilson Rd., Albert "Bert" Paddock (1865-1946) and Josephine (Mutaw) Paddock (1872-1940) purchased the Clover Dale Farm in 1895 from Elijah Stanford, located in Grant Township consisting of 137 acres. In 1920, the farm was then run by his son, Earl Paddock (1891-1963) and Kathryn (Wagner) Paddock (1896-1983) until 1940. In the late 1920's and 30's there was a road stand with a gas pump and ice cream was sold for travelers. Across Rt. 120, Albert built a Sears home (partially visible in lower left corner). At that time the highway was known as Rt. 20. The original name of the road was the Lake McHenry Plank Rd.
