Lake-Peterson House, Gothic Revival residence in Rockford, United States.
The Lake-Peterson House features yellow brick walls, a slate roof, decorative gables, tall chimneys, bay windows, and a large veranda with ornamental details.
John Lake, an English immigrant who established wealth through the lumber industry, constructed this Victorian residence in 1873 and lived there until 1907.
The property represents the architectural preferences of successful 19th-century businessmen in Illinois, combining Gothic Revival elements with Victorian-era craftsmanship.
The National Register of Historic Places designation enables property owners to access federal tax incentives for rehabilitation and maintenance projects.
A three-story enclosed porch, added after 1918, incorporates window groupings that demonstrate the evolution of late Gothic Revival architectural elements.
