This is my house, bought 20 years ago. The barns are no longer on site and trees have changed. Our lot is much smaller than the original site at onl 3/4 an acre 1104 Odd Fellow Rd.

Hi Jim! Thanks for sharing your connection to the Coles County photo from 1982. It's fascinating to hear about the changes over the years, like the absence of the barns and the smaller lot size. Did you grow up in Coles County? I'm curious to know what type of farming or activities took place on your property back then. Let us know if there's anything else you remember or if there's anything we can help with.

Yes I grew up right here in Coles County drove by my now house many times. The same family still farms the ground around the original house. Very cool to see your website and see my place from so many years ago. I also found my dad's place in Macon County from when I was very young as well in your pictures. Will be watching for sales to possibly purchase in the near future. Thanks for such a cool webpage!!
