On the gatepost of Chute House, in Church Street, this plaque is for Thomas Wharton, who was born in the vicarage that then stood on this site, in 1728. Wharton was Poet Laureate from 1785 to 1790. He was Professor of Poetry at Oxford University.
Built in 1906, this Prairie-style building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the River Forest Tennis Club to serve as a clubhouse. The building is clad in horizontal board-and-batten siding with a low-pitch hipped roof, clerestory awning windows, a brick chimney at the center of the west facade, cantilevered canopies at the recessed entrance bays, and a large terrace on the east side of the building, opening onto a large lawn that is surrounded by tennis courts and an outdoor swimming pool. The building is a contributing structure in the River Forest Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Today, the building remains in use as the home of the River Forest Tennis Club.
