At the pinnacle of his success in business , Cusack bought the entire unincorporated town of Cascade , Colorado , at the Ute Pass in the Rocky Mountains . He hired architects and contractors to build a plush mansion nestled in the Ute Pass , which he named " Marigreen Pines " after his wife , Mary Green . Having lived through the Great Chicago Fire and experienced so many early losses in his life , Cusack built Marigreen Pines out of brick , marble and concrete to safeguard his family from harm . Marigreen Pines became a much loved mountain home for Cusack and his family , where he routinely and graciously hosted many friends and relatives , engaging them in lively conversation and debate
