Nine other buildings from the time period still stand on the property, which is still used as the Dunham Woods Riding Club.
Three years later, Dunham organized the Fletcher Norman Horse Company with his uncle and a group of local farmers.
Dunham worked tirelessly to perfect his breed of horses, traveling to France to learn from other breeders.
Agricultural exhibitors from the World's Columbian Exposition tested out machinery on the property, so the farm was visited by many famous names, including Daniel Burnham, Marshall Field, and Carter Harrison, Sr.
The remaining portions of the part were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 26, 1979.
Today, the farm occupies all four corners of the intersection of Army Trail and Dunham Roads in Wayne, Illinois.
Dunham wanted to integrate French chateau designs with modern American architectural trends.
The interior had been converted into apartments and then back to a private residence, but the exterior remains intact.
A house on the southeast side of the property dates to the late 1870s that was used as a residence for the family coachman.
Solomon built a train station for the line in Wayne, as well as a house, store and inn.
Solomon's house was built in 1836 in an L-shaped pattern in the rural Greek Revival style.
A long, narrow, frame structure also remains on the property from its days as Oaklawn Farm.
