A small post-industrial city in northern Illinois, located
on the shores of Lake Michigan between Chicago and the Wisconsin
border. Home to some 200,000 residents, it bears certain striking
structural similarities to Mill Walk, having
been built on an east-west axis from the lakefront to the
distant suburbs. A number of street names are found in both
locations, as is a hotel called the St. Alwyn. (The name is
supposedly derived from the little-known St. Alvin
of the Pyrenees, the patron saint of the hungry.) Millhaven
contains a number of handsome parks designed by Olmstead,
four private residences designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a
striking combination Art Museum-War Memorial, fine German
restaurants, and a well-regarded educational institution,
Arkham University. An inexplicable number of Millhaven’s
citizens have become serial killers, among them the notorious
Walter Dragonette.
