Organization
Biography
The Riven Rock Estate was owned by the McCormick family, who purchased the 84 acre property in 1896 and in 1898 built a large two-story Mission Revival home on the premises. The estate's name came from an oak tree near the main gate, which was growing out of and had split a large boulder. It was where Stanley McCormick, the youngest child of Cyrus Hall McCormick and Nancy Fowler McCormick, and husband of Katharine McCormick, was confined for much of his life as he suffered from schizophrenia. from wikipedia.com
