Lake Forest House by Jack Viks
The MidCentury Architecture blog discovered a listing for this Lake Forest, Illinois house by a Jack Viks, who was apparently a student of Mies Van Der Rohe — a fact made very clear by one glance at the exterior. But it’s the interior that is really stunning.
considering the market time(almost 100 days) its a magnificent place. and with two additional lots, a guest house and a 8 car garage… $2.299.000 is a small price to pay..
great find..
it was a pleasure to view the interiors first hand.

Dear Lady, dear Sir,
the other day I have bought a Mercedes 280SL via ebay from a seller in Illinois. A friend of mine will help me to organize shipment from the US to Germany/ Berlin where I live together with my wife and our 3 kids. As kind of an background information I learned, that the first owner of this beautiful Oldtimer has been the architect Mr. Jack Viks. Would it be possible for you to forward this email to Mr. Viks or his wife/ kids? Thx. in advance. First of all I would like to let the Viks family know, that their car soon will be back to Germany. Secondly I am asking for some additional information about my new car. Best regards from Berlin
