Warrenville Historical Society

      .....[Colonel Warren] built a fine hotel and spacious hall in it for dancing.
      It was patronized by the elite of Chicago as well as Naperville and the Fox River towns,
      and here it was that John Wentworth made his debut into social circles ...
      no more refined and truly aesthetic circles than these dancing and private parties
      have ever graced the elegant drawing room of even Chicago since that eventful period
