100 S. Ashland

100 South Ashland is a Victorian house with an interesting polygonal bay. Built in 1895, it is known as the Dr. E.S. Detweiler House, after its original owner, who practiced in La Grange for over 25 years. By 1910 the house was owned by W.M. Lemon, who practiced dentistry here for over 50 years. His brother Willis also began an illustrious medical career in La Grange and later became head of the department of chest medicine at Mayo Clinic and was considered an international authority on lung diseases.
