 History of Robert Allerton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
After Samuel Allerton's death in 1914 Robert made further improvements: the bridge over the Sangamon River was constructed in 1915; in 1916 the stable, no longer needed for horses, was connected to the mansion with a marble hall; and the "House in the Woods" by the Chicago architect, Joseph Llewellyn, was built in 1917.
Examples of Allerton's local philanthropy were the Monticello Community House (1921, destroyed in 1950); the Allerton-Phalen Trust for Kirby Hospital; the decoration of St. Philomena Catholic Church; the Gates of Lodge Park (designed by John Gregg); and the Sundial in DeLand.
Together Allerton and Gregg created large-scale oases, landscaped and populated with statues, near the house, in the forest, and on the fringes of the woodlands.
