My Old House Online

An online community for people who love old houses.

Original Isaac Elwood House (1860 Greek Revival) in DeKalb, IL needs a new home or will be demolished

I read this article in my local newspaper - I would be sad for this piece of history (the home of one of the three inventors of barbed wire in our city) to be demolished.  Needs a lot of work, but will be sold for $1.00 for anyone willing to move it.

By the way, I live in the home of the nephew of Jacob Haish, who with Elwood and Glidden were the three big barbed-wire families in DeKalb.  :D
