Tour historic Ewing Manor, the Channel-Norman-style residence was home to many of Hazle Buck Ewing’s efforts to support the causes of education, women’s suffrage, and world peace.The manor is a concrete structure with many unique features including a 3-story spiral staircase and concrete ceilings. The manor is only 20 feet wide to capture the cross breezes for cooling the home. The local architect Phil Hooten was hired to design this Channel-Normal style residence. This was an architectural style favored by the affluent during the post-Victorian period. Phil Hooten’s design reflects Hazle Buck Ewing’s naturalistic tastes and views. Donated to Illinois State University Foundation upon Mrs. Ewing’s death in 1969, Ewing Cultural Center is now home to the Illinois Shakespeare Festival and the Genevieve Green Gardens.Trained docents will be available to assist visitors through the four floors of the manor. Tours are without charge, but a $5 donation is suggested for the restoration of the manor. The last tour starts at 5:15 p.m.
