Henry Strong (May 2, 1829 - October 21, 1911) was the seventh president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.
In 1876, Henry Strong built a summer mansion on the north shore of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
He reportedly camped at several locations around the lake before deciding to purchase the property where his "Northwoodside" mansion still stands.
The land he selected was said to enjoy frequent cooling breezes, a respite from the [1] brutally hot Chicago summers.
