111 E Jefferson St, New Boston, IL 61272

YES, this home needs a lot of work, but want to say - COMPLETED IS A MASTERPIECE AND A PIECE OF Illinois History. Blt in 1857 by Elmor J. Dennison - building 2 homes - 1 for each daughter. The sister home is across the street. Look at features of a widow's watch, flying staircase & dental block crown molding. Located near Mississippi River, summer fun fishing & boating activities - in winter-hunting, eagle watching & winter sports.. Imagine horse-drawn carriages, rain barrels overflowing in bkyd; envision era of Abraham Lincoln (who laid out New Boston); imagine your daughter ascending down the walnut staircase in her flowing wedding gown; longingly awaiting return of husband from the river as she watched from the widows walk. Boundaries: N-tree line; W-alley; E & S-streets. Ornate woodburning fireplace in LR; gas fireplace in DR. Please try to envision the home as it was when restored. SOLD AS IS. UTILITIES ARE OFF. Possibly a B&B or Air B&B.
