Boxhill, Georgian Revival house in Glenview, US.
The 1906 estate features a two-story entrance hall with black and white marble floors and a curved staircase spanning both levels.
William E. Chess, president of Chess and Wymond Cooperage Company, constructed this residence overlooking the Ohio River between 1906 and 1910.
Boston architect Joseph E. Chandler designed the mansion while Bryant Fleming created the formal gardens and tree-lined entrance mall.
The seven-acre property includes multiple libraries with cherry wood paneling, intricate box moldings, and crown moldings throughout the interior spaces.
Following a 1977 tragedy involving previous owners, the property remained unsold for three years before contractor Helen Combs purchased it for restoration.
