The History
Once a vast estate on the outskirts of Bloomington, the property
originally known as Sunset Hill now comprises 6 acres of wooded
landscape, the centerpiece of which is the majestic manor house
built for Hazle and Davis Ewing in 1929. Designed in the Channel-Norman
style by local architect Phil Hooten, the home was occupied by
Hazle Buck Ewing until her death in 1969. Prominent Chicago landscape
architect Jens Jensen designed the landscape. The images shown
are vintage photographs taken during Mrs. Ewing’s lifetime.
