The former is located in the Chicago Landmark Historic Michigan Boulevard District and the latter along the Magnificent Mile. Their father John Drake (1826-1895) had been a business partner of Timothy Blackstone. In 1898, Drake acquired property on the south shore of Geneva Lake, Wis., from Arthur Kaye and hired Howard Van Doren Shaw to design a summer home there for his family. Aloha Lodge, a Southern Colonial-style country estate, was completed in March 1901. The name was inspired by the Drakes' recent travels to Hawaii, where the family befriended the recently deposed Hawaii'an queen Lilliuokalani.[3] In Chicago, Drake and his brother John acquired the property for the Drake Hotel from the estate of Potter Palmer in 1916 after it gave up on the idea of building a hotel itself.[4] The Drake Hotel opened on New Year's Eve in 1920.[5] He is the grandfather of the film actress Betsy Drake.
