This once stood at the NW corner of Rt. 60 and Wilson Rd. Only the driveway footprint remains. The land eventually became a large church.

According to the 1907 Fremont Township plat map, this farm property was owned by Frederick Converse (1866-1945) on both sides of Rte. 60. (located in the bottom of the photo) and Wilson Rd. (located to the right outside of the photo). His father was Washington L. Converse (1824-1895) who owned the property in 1861. Washington was born in Orange County, VT and was left an orphan. At the age of 19 he came to Illinois but in 1854 he purchased 220 acres in Fremont Township. Washington married Jane (Hazen) Converse (1837-1913).
