The Keith house once stood on Prairie Avenue immediately South of the Glesseer house. Set on a lot of thirty-eight by eighty feet, the sides of the Keith house abutted those at its neighbors. Constructed at the then high cast at S40,000, this elegant and well-planned house was the home of Stanley Field; nephew of Marshall Field, from 1901 to 1913.
