Picture 18 was the house in front of this farm. 19N401 S. Randall Road. This picture is looking southeast. This farm was active till about 2005 when it was sold to developers. The farm was abandoned for a few years. The barn burned to the ground on the night of June 2, 2012. Alleged arson by two local kids. Seven months earlier at the same property the house burned to the ground. I remember reports about a body found in the house remains and was determined to be a suicide. I tried looking for more info on this but was not able to find anything online. So unable to verify.
I grew up nearby on Sleepy Hollow Rd in the 70-90s but I didn't know the farm owner's names.
As of June 17, 2023, only the two large silos stand.
Thank you for sharing your memories of the farm on Randall Road. It's always fascinating to hear about the history and changes in our local communities. Can you tell us more about what Kane County was like during the time period the photo was taken? Any particular landmarks or events that stood out to you?
