Mayslake Hall
In 1919 Francis Stuyvesant Peabody commissioned renowned Chicago architect Benjamin Marshall to design the Tudor Revival-style mansion known today as Mayslake Hall. The style reaches back to England’s Tudor period as a revival of the timber-frame buildings popular at the time.
Today, Mayslake Hall, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is a thriving community space, where people connect to nature and one another through art, history, and cultural programs, which are offered throughout the year.
If you would like to host an event at the hall, call us at 630-206-9569 to discuss your plans.
Portiuncula Chapel
The Portiuncula Chapel is a replica of the original in Assisi, Italy, which is named for the “little portion” of land where St. Francis of Assisi received his call to serve the poor. The front features a colorful stone mosaic.
After Peabody’s death, his family commissioned the Franciscans to build the chapel as a memorial to the late industrialist in 1926. The order moved the chapel to its current location in 1973.
The chapel is available for weddings, baptisms, memorial services, and other special ceremonies. It seats up to 56 people and can accommodate an additional 100 on the surrounding grounds. Those who rent the venue are responsible for officiants, music, and flowers. If you would like to host an event at the chapel, call us at 630-206-9569 to discuss your plans.
