445 S. Catherine

This is the home of a pioneering family of La Grange, Walter P. Hill (1868-1945). Mr Hill arrived in La Grange in 1882 from Rochester, NY, as part of a family that included nine children. This family was very active in the Congregational Church. In 1920, Mr. Hill moved to Mackinac Island, MI, where he operated a resort, Bennett Hall, for 25 years. Others in his family, however, remained in La Grange.
