What Lake County does
to a freezer.

Where freezers sit in Lake County: older housing stock, on a lake, mixed housing.

All of Chicago

Older housing stock

Older houses put the freezer wherever there was room, often a cellar with a floor that slopes toward a drain, and a cabinet standing out of level holds its door slightly open at one corner, a ridge of frost along that edge being the first sign.

On a lake

Damp air off fresh water keeps a freezer's lid or door gasket wet through the warm months, and mildew in the gasket folds, then a split seam, lets humid air in until the rim is frosted solid and the lid no longer closes flat.

Mixed housing

In the older houses on a mixed block the freezer may share a circuit with a sump pump or a washer, and a tripping breaker is traced to that circuit before the freezer's compressor takes the blame.

All of Chicago

Highland Park

Highland Park lies on the North Shore about 25 miles north of downtown Chicago and was platted in 1856 around a Chicago and Milwaukee Railroad depot.

Lake Forest

Lake Forest was laid out in 1857 together with Lake Forest College, with roads planned to limit access and keep outside traffic away.

Deerfield

Deerfield, some 28 miles from downtown Chicago on the North Shore, incorporated in 1903 with a few hundred residents and now hosts the Walgreens headquarters.

Kildeer

Kildeer grew out of a mid-1950s subdivision of mostly two-acre homesites whose developer, Henry Bosch Jr., refused to sell lots to builders in order to keep control of it.

Lake Bluff

Lake Bluff took its name in 1875, when Methodist ministers bought 100 acres of lakefront and laid out a camp-meeting resort among its beach and ravines.

Libertyville

Libertyville lies 5 miles west of Lake Michigan and about 40 miles north of the Loop, between Gurnee to the north and Vernon Hills to the south.

Long Grove

Long Grove keeps strict building ordinances meant to hold on to its country atmosphere, going as far as to prohibit sidewalks, fences and residential street lights.

Vernon Hills

Vernon Hills incorporated in 1958 with 123 residents, grew from a 200-acre farm first established in 1857, and later annexed part of the Hawthorne-Mellody Farms land.
