My Fiance and I were just out there taking pictures of the inside and out!<br /><br />This land was purchased by the Hausen family around 1840. The stones to build the house were brought from a quarry near Franklin Creek.There are 4 rooms with 2 upstairs and 2 down. One day rumors of a railroad from Chicago moving westward became a reality. When the surveyors laid out the right of way the north line would have come too close to the Hausens' back yard. The home owners wouldn't have it, so the railroad is not in a straight line, it curves around the property.<br /><br />In Feb. of 1900 their was a marriage ceremony held in that tiny house with 80 guests! Now the Little Stone House sits empty except for it's memories of the past.Steve & Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725398483776886605noreply@blogger.com
