The Morton family is famous in Illinois and around the world. They are not only the founders of the Morton Salt Company, they helped launch Arbor Day in America and are the reason the Morton Arboretum in Lisle exists. It’s no surprise that this notable family has a notable home – many homes, actually – but this one is particularly amazing.
The Lake Forest estate was built in 1914.
The palatial pad belonged to Jean Morton Cudahy, the daughter of the founder of Morton Salt, and her husband.
Famous architect David Adler designed it.
The long time board member of The Art Institute of Chicago was known for creating fabulous estates.
At 11,000 square feet, the home isn't hurting for space.
It sits on 2 acres of land and boasts a swimming pool, tennis court, and lush gardens.
Complete with marble finishes and 24 karat gold bathroom fixtures, the interior of the home does not disappoint.
There are eight bedrooms and nine and a half bathrooms, so visitors can take their pick of where to sleep and shower.
The best news of all? It's currently for sale.
Now is your chance to own your own palace - if you can afford the $9.4 million price tag.
