Photo 16-IKA-18

This was the Parsons farm on Miller Rd. in West Dundee in the 60s-80s. The picture is looking East. The Parson main home/mansion can be seen in the top right corner across the road. This large house is still there. The main barn burned down in the early 80s. The smaller house near the barn is still there and was heavily added on and updated in the late 80s I believe by the Parsons Family. The Parsons children started developing the land into high-end custom homes on 1-plus-acre lots in the mid-80s. These homes are still in unincorporated West Dundee. They later sold the remanding land to a big-time developer in the early 90s that build high-density homes and incorporated the new homes into Carpentersville. The farm location was at Miller Rd and now Oak Knoll Rd. I grew up nearby in the late 70s-90s.
