From 1940 until 1977, this was the home of Henry F.A. Bock and his wife, Elda Meinershagen Bock(she passed away in 1971). They had two children, Elsie and John, who grew up here. The home was located on the north side of Illinois State Route 10, west of Lincoln, Illinois, and one mile east of Interstate 55. At some point prior to this writing (2021), all the structures and trees were removed. With the exception of about 160 feet of driveway, all the land has been returned to tillable farmland.

One of the distinctions of Henry Bock was his being a prime mover in establishing the first commercially viable airport in Logan County. Officially listed by the state as "Lincoln Airport", it operated from about 1945 until 1963. The airfield was located on the Bock property, immediately across Route 10 on the south side. It had two grass runways, a shop hangar, office, fueling facilities, and T-hangars. This picture appears to have been taken in the afternoon of a late-summer day, with the camera pointed northeast.
