Highland Park represents one of the finest examples of late-19th-century suburban development. Its abundant natural beauty was quickly recognized and preserved by the visionary design of two well-known landscape architects, Horace W. S. Cleveland and William M. R. French. Capitalizing on the setting and boasting "good schools, good churches and good society," the Highland Park Building Company transformed the scenic village into one of the most desirable communities on Chicago's North Shore, attracting socially prominent residents who built gracious lakefront estates and quiet country homes along its bluffs and shady lanes. Historic photographs illustrate the transformation from forest and farmland to a fashionable residential community and capture the social, civic, and business accomplishments of Highland Park's early citizens. The city's early progress and prosperity are celebrated in this book.

Excerpt from The Preservation and Management of Vegetation in Ravines in Highland Park, Illinois: A Report Highland Park, both from aesthetic and erosion-control points of view. Much of the beauty of the ravines is due to the lovely woods with their spectacular display of spring wildflowers. The plants also significantly retard the rate of erosion in the ravines. To make these comments more graphic, try to visualize the ravines if they were totally denuded of vegetation. Not only would they be unsightly gulches, but erosion would proceed uncontrolled.
