A home for the arts in Libertyville.
The David Adler Estate at 1700 North Milwaukee Avenue in Libertyville, Illinois was the residence of architect David Adler. He lived there in the 1864 farmhouse from 1918 until his death on September 27, 1949.
Today, the historic property, nominated to the National Register of Historic Places on November 22, 1999, includes the home and 11 acres. Under the guidance of William McCormick Blair, President Emeritus of the Art Institute of Chicago and long-time neighbor and friend of Adler, The David Adler Music and Arts Center was founded in 1980.
We are a home for the arts here in Libertyville, and the surrounding areas of Lake County.
The David Adler Music and Arts Center is dedicated to promoting music and the arts as an integral part of everyday life. Its year-round activities are designed to foster critical thinking and interpretation, participation, entertainment, and achievement in music and the arts for the people of Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin.
The David Adler Music and Arts Center maintains and interprets the historic home of architect David Adler, which is the base of its activities, and a visual image of the harmony between music, the arts and daily life.
