Chicago School Given 178-Year-Old Rhode Island Mansion
A private Chicago high school has received an unusual gift -- a shuttered 178-year-old Rhode Island inn.
The Larchwood Inn in Wakefield is a 14-room mansion built in 1831 that was run as an inn for 30 years until it closed in 2006. And now it's the property of Chicago Hope Academy, a college preparatory school on the Near West Side founded by businessman Robert Muzikowski, who confirmed the gift Thursday night.
