History

The Davis' bred trotters and dogs at their Crown Point farm c.1885-1917 (Chicago Daily Tribune, Aug 8, 1897, pg 7). In March 2008, Universal Studios, under the direction of Michael Mann, visited Crown Point to film parts of the upcoming movie 'Public Enemies' at the former county jail facility from which Dillinger escaped. In 1878 construction began on a new more impressive county court house and clock tower. This new court house, known as the 'Grand Old Lady', was built in the center of town and would become the dominant feature of Crown Point (further additions to this courthouse would be made from 1907-1928). The Old Lake County Courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and the new Lake County Government Center opened on the north side of the city the next year.
