104 N Oak, Wapella, IL 61777

If you are into historical homes & wanting a restoration project look no further! This amazing three story brick home was built in 1854 by the Illinois Central Railroad. It was used as a railroad hotel. In the early 1920s the Woollen family purchased this house and ran it as a boarding home. It has been in their family ever since. First time to ever be "on the market" this home has so many stories to tell. Exterior is mostly covered with ivy which gives it an old world feel. Its walls are three bricks thick in the main home and the back addition is two bricks thick. Solid as they come this home withstood the tornado of 1968 that tore through Wapella. The only sign it survived that is a crack in the wall as the tornado had twisted the house but didn't have the strength to knock it down. Improvements include: roof 1999, furnace/a/c (downstairs only) 1999, windows 2000, garage built 2001. Home is being sold AS-IS. Come see this amazing historical home with endless possibilities!
