Please Pretty Louise!
This is socialite Louise Gilbert McBirney, daughter of A.M Gilbert who built the Inn's mansion on the crest of the hill in 1902. Louise's husband, Dey McBurney, a Chicago lawyer, built Brookside a second mansion for her on the southern part of the estate. Louise told her family she was going shopping in New York and hopped on a trans Atlantic luxury liner with a married man. The Chicago newspapers reported that the family was heartbroken and humiliated. Please pretty Louise behave. |
