Photo 10-LLA-1 from 1973

Lehmann mansion and Gavin North School on the left in Lake Villa on 59 Highway .

Actually that was part of the Lehman estate but while it is now a church, it was a stable. The mansion was down on the lake

The Church on the right is Church of the Holy Family at 25291 W Lehmann Blvd, Lake Villa, IL 60046
The other structure on the left is the Lake Villa Township Hall at 37850 Illinois Rte 59, Lake Villa, IL
60046

I found some information stating the structure on the right was Otto Lehmann’s home and horse barn on Fox Lake

The 1972 aerial shows them both in this configuration - https://www.historicaerials.com/locat...

Thank you CRobbins. There was a Lehman Mansion down by the lake and then there was a huge house/mansion across from it supposedly for the servants and caretakers. Also across 59 there were two servants quarters homes there and we lived in one for about 4 months while our house was being built on Monaville. Thank you for your insight sir! Have a great day!
