The '' ' Martin Mitchell Mansion ' '' , known to the original owners as '' ' Pine Craig , ' '' is a historic residence . The 12-room house was built with materials from Naperville businesses and stone from DuPage River quarries . George Martin II was the son of an immigrant from Scotland and made his fortune by taking advantage of local resources . He made agriculture his first venture , cultivating a farm and gradually expanding his land holdings to 1,000 acres . Martin then developed a limestone quarry along the DuPage , which became very successful in 1871 due to the high demand for stone after the Great Chicago Fire . He made his riches after he co-founded Naperville Tile and Brick Works , which eventually output over one million bricks and one million tiles . The tile was primarily used to drain swamps for farming . Martin operated his end of the business in his new home upon its 1883 construction . He named the house Pine Craig , and his family members lived in the house until 1936 . The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 . The mansion is now part of Naper Settlement and underwent an extensive restoration from 2000-2003
