Pixie 1 post Nov 19, 2006 9:54 AM	We have purchased the A.T. Glassburn Home and are planning on restoring it back to its former splendor. Does anyone have any pictures of the inside & outside from when A.T. Glassburn actually lived here?? Does anyone know if the orginal house plans still exist somewhere?? Thank You, Angela Last Edited by on Nov 19, 2006 9:55 AM

You are welcome to come there as well. We're open by appt. only until April, so contact me if you would like to come over. Denise McLoughlin, tahs@thewisp.net, 815-438-2065. I'll check with Amy McElhiney as well, since she was one of the founding members of the historical society and our local historian. Welcome! ---------- Denise Family History Coordinator Tampico Area Historical Society

I guess my grandpa Wesley Broers had a chance to buy that house for $13,000. I am not sure what year that was. I wonder why the current owners are leaving? Where any other pictures of the house ever found?

Fortunately, the current owners were history buffs and wanted to restore the house to its original architecture. They have done a beautiful job. They were not able to adapt to "small town living." We will miss them. Here is the listing on it. If you go to the web address, there are also photos: http://hanover.homeweb.info/Default.aspx?tabid=-1&h=1&vw=dtl&qs=sp&lid=rb7NKv0nt4M%3d&lndx=0&rppg=10&digest=6z0tQ/ksTo5fZMM5mmAGAQ 206 South Main Street Tampico, Illinois 61283 Listing Price $159,900 Listing # rsv1799 Status / Contingency Active Total Bedrooms / Baths 5 Bed / 2 Bath Style / Ownership Three Story / Single Family Basement Full/Partial Finished Lot Size 1.14 acres Fireplaces 1 Gas fireplace(s) Year Built 1890 Garage Information 1 Stall Detached, 440 SqFt with Gravel drive Show more pictures Click on thumbnails to enlarge.
