My Name is Bruce Flesher and my wife is Karen. We have 7 children and 16 grand children We are the current owners of this house. The previous owners were the Robinsons (owners of the Kane County Flea Market). The owners before them were the Factly's. I'd like to find out who all the owners were and put their names on a plaque. The house was built in 1884. The "shed" was built in 1941. We just put a new metal roof with new sheathing and siding on it in 2015/16. As well as additional Windows and a new concrete floor in the garage. We call it the "Manatorium". It's to big to be called a man cave. From what I know the Factly's had an awning business. And ran it out of the garage part of the building. Both areas were heated with and oil burning furnaces. The "Shed" part, as it was called, housed the village trucks and school bus. It now houses a bar, a fully equiped weight room and my hot rods.
