| Description |
I think this is a better picture of the house but the sun glare on the lawn kinda spoiled it SO I tried a little makeup to take away the shine....:-) A LITTLE HISTORY Jenkins Estate Belle and Ralph Jenkins began construction on the Jenkins Estate buildings in 1913. Belle was the youngest daughter of Captain J.S. Ainsworth and Ralph was a station agent for the Railroad. They both loved horses and found city life confining so the 68-acre Estate was built to include a beautiful, three floor stable and covered riding arena. Other amenities included splendid English-style gardens, a greenhouse for plant cultivation, an ornamental pool, a tea house for relaxation, a carriage house and a water tower. After Mr. Jenkins passed away in 1955, Mrs. Jenkins kept to herself and ceased entertaining. Mrs. Jenkins died eight years later in 1963. Childless, she willed the estate to a friend who had cared for her and the estate during the later part of her life. After a few years, the expense of maintaining the estate became excessive and was sold in 1971 to Franklin Services Corporation, which planned a large housing development. The Park District was able to purchase the estate in 1976 after it became clear that sewer and water services would not reach the estate for many years. Today the Estate is used for corporate, community, and private events. 68 acres 7 buildings/3 support structures an Original Farmhouse, Main House, Stable, Water Tower, Greenhouse, Tea House, Pump House, Carriage House, Equipment Shed, Root Cellar |
