Julia Johnas presents the life and work of William W. Boyington, architect of Chicago’s Water Tower, entrance of Rosehill Cemetary and a resident of Highland Park from 1874 until his death in 1898.  A long and prolific career, this event aims to showcase his best-known buildings in Chicago and Highland Park. Several Boyington-designed residences remain in Highland Park, including the log house built for Sylvester Millard in 1893, which will be featured on the 2008 Highland Park Historical Society house walk.
