The 10-bedroom, 11,110-square-foot Winnetka-area mansion that Andy McKenna, the Chicago Bears’ part-owner and former McDonald’s Corp. chairman, owned from 1976 until his death at age 93 in February has been listed by his heirs for $5.75 million.
One of the city’s best-connected executives, McKenna was president of the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox at different times — making him the only person ever to hold both positions — and he helped keep the Sox in Chicago in the mid-1970s when a former owner was considering selling the team to an ownership group that had wanted to relocate the team to Seattle. McKenna’s day job was in owning Morton Grove-based paper company Schwarz Supply Source Inc.
McKenna and his late wife, Joan, who died in 2019, bought the mansion in 1976 and used the property to host their seven children and 24 grandchildren. Radnay, who formerly worked in advertising for McDonald’s, said she was honored to list the McKenna estate after having spent time once in the McDonald’s Corp. boardroom.
Radnay highlighted the mansion’s “real-life fairy tale with even a wishing well to complete this story.”
