This iconic home is a testament to meticulous restoration efforts, earning accolades as "the oldest and most scrupulous piece of architectural restoration within the town of Normal, the finest ...Italianate-styled structure in Normal, and one of the best in Central Illinois," according to the town and an Old House Society Historic Preservation award recipient.
