A six-bedroom Arts-and-Crafts-style mansion in unincorporated Glen Ellyn that is said to have been designed by the Tallmadge & Watson architectural firm is on the market for $1.19 million.
The 15-room brick mansion and its 1.9-acre site at one time were part of a 300-acre-plus farm south of Glen Ellyn that was known as Warwood Farm. In 1915, Walter A. Rogers, who cofounded the Bates & Rogers construction firm, bought the farm, which is immediately north of the Morton Arboretum, and immediately set to work having the mansion built. The owners believe he hired Tallmadge & Watson, a Prairie-style firm based in Chicago, to design the mansion.
One of Rogers’ children who grew up in the mansion was noted psychotherapist Carl Rogers.
