204 S. Federal St. Griggsville, Illinois

• GREAT INVESTMENT PROPERTY
• PARTIALLY REMODELED
• LOCATED IN GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD

This property is one of Lincoln’s Pike County, also known as the Aaron Tyler House built in 1837, located at 204 South Federal Street, Griggsville, IL.  Lincoln often stopped and slept here in 1858 when he was a candidate in the US Senate race against Stephen Douglas. The house contained the only library in the Griggsville area at the time and Lincoln liked to study and write in the second floor room when he spent the night in the bedroom of the library.  The house was built with Maine lumber by the senior Tyler in 1837, was a farm house, and was considered the finest house in town at the time. This property was in the middle of renovation when it was put on the market, so this is a fixer upper and does need some TLC. At the present time this home features; three/four bedrooms and one bath, a large kitchen, dining area and living room; a new staircase to the upstairs and features four roomy unfinished rooms. Newer cabinets in the kitchen, very nice laundry room/mud room; large deck and is situated on a 132x165 lot. What a great compliment to the history of Griggville and Mr. Lincoln than to restore this historical site.  Give Elaine a call for your own personal tour of this great investment.
