This place http://www.mccormicktribune.org/cantigny/ has a sorted history, which is why I'm going to tell you alittle about it.
The residence of Robert R. McCormick reflects the public and private sides of Medill and McCormick, their families and guests who enjoyed this country home in Wheaton, Illinois. Priceless family heirlooms, Chinese and European works of art, and over 400 year-old antiques grace the 27 rooms that are on display for the public.
Colonel Robert R. McCormick continued to live in the mansion until his death in 1955. McCormick’s second wife, Maryland Mathison Hooper McCormick (1897-1985), could have lived in the mansion for as long as she liked, but she chose to leave for Washington, D.C. In 1959, the mansion became a museum. The Cantigny Foundation, which is a branch of the Robert R. McCormick Tribune Foundation, maintains the mansion as a historic house museum. The mansion has 35 rooms, 12 fireplaces, 13 bathrooms and 4 staircases.

What's sorted about this you ask? It's that second wife of his, guess who it was.... it seems the first wifes (Amy Adams) best friend! The first wifie had suicided I believe, and upon her death her girlfriend Maryland Mathison Hooper decided why not take her husband since she's no longer alive. I can only imagine the nights they spent comforting one another after she'd passed away, it would seem they were more then comforting one another LMAO! Can you imagine what it might be like to get it on with your wifes best friend? Pretty kinky ehh... yeah so that's kinda weird to me, but since he was rich and lived in an amazing mansion what would we expect I suppose.
