Triangle Park

This is the site of the “Old Hotel”, the first public building in Lake Forest. It opened in the summer of 1858, a year after Lake Forest was platted. People intending to buy lots from the Lake Forest Association stayed there while they looked over their home sites. The deer sculpture was commissioned around 1902 for a home at 644 West Deerpath. New owners donated the Austrian designed deer to the city and it was moved here.
