16162 W. Sandlake Rd., Wadsworth, looking NW. The house is listed as being built in 1820, which is dubious. Let's just say it's really old.

My family moved to this house in around 1965. I was a year old. We lived her until I was 8. Fond memories of exploring the property and we had horses here.

I grew up here from about 1975 to 1985. Great house and tons of amazing memories! We had a little cottage on the property and a large barn which burned down years ago after we sold it. We used to build floats there for the Warren homecoming parade. Good times!!

Hi Kris! Thanks for sharing your wonderful memories of the house and property in Lake County, IL. It sounds like you had a lot of fun building floats for the Warren homecoming parade in the barn! We'd love to learn more about your experiences growing up there. Since the photo was taken in 1965, we're curious if you remember any specific changes or landmarks that have happened since then?
