Harley Clarke Mansion
The mansion was purchased by the fraternity Sigma Chi and was used as their headquarters from 1951 to 1965. The city of Evanston purchased the Harley Clarke Mansion in 1965. The Evanston Arts Center leased it from 1965–2015. Part of the reason for the departure was the deteriorating condition of the building and the expense to correct them.
Over the years, several proposals have been floated for the mansion. None of them materialized. There was a proposal to demolish the structure. However, the building still stands.
