Photo 61-OMAC-31

Comments

Looking SE at 106 North Main Street, Illinois State Route 111, Modesto, Illinois.

This house was built by a retired shipbuilder, last name Gautchall. It was lifted up and sat down a foot off of its foundation by a tornado that almost destroyed this little town. Built by Alexander Nevins, purchased by Galen Gibbs, and Joseph Griffith.

My grandparents, Galen and Florence Clark Gibbs as well as my sister and husband Joe Griffith have lived in this beautiful victorian.
