Labahn-Hain farmhouse recalls LITH’s roots

LAKE IN THE HILLS – Overlooking Woods Creek Lake is the Labahn-Hain house, a former farmhouse that has been restored and is used for a village preschool program, evening dance classes, and party rentals.

The house is believed to have been built in the 1870s and was on a 240-acre farm. The Labahn family owned the house until the mid-1920s, when it was sold to Judge Walter La Buy.

Even though La Buy thought about making the area into a golf course, he decided to build his family home in the area.
