Sunderlage Farm Smokehouse

The Sunderlage Farm Smokehouse is a historic smokehouse at 1775 Vista Walk in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The smokehouse was built circa 1860 as part of the Sunderlage Farm; it and the farm's farmhouse are the only remaining farm buildings in Hoffman Estates. While the area that is now Hoffman Estates was rural for much of the early nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, its farms were subdivided into suburban housing in the 1960s. The smokehouse, which was used to cure and hold the farm's meat supply, is well-preserved compared to other surviving contemporary smokehouses in northeastern Illinois. Its functional design uses the then-popular Greek Revival style and includes brick detailing below the roof line.[2]
