About This Home
As of October 2021William Snyder built this substantial Greek Revival home in 1856 (exert from Images of America - Galena) after marring Lucretia McLean whose family owned the home that was said to be where the Civil War started and the parlor where the Civil War ended. This home is located on Galena's East Side just a short distance from downtown and across the street from 2 homes of historical significance. The Washburn home was owned by the first Republican Congressman and the home next door is owned by the first Democrat Congressman from the 16th Congressional District. Although being presently used as a Bed and Breakfast, it is being sold as a single-family home. Once inside you will find a nicely appointed period home with all the conveniences of today. Ornate ceiling medallions, hardwood floors, 2 staircases, and marble fireplace surrounds, period lighting are found throughout the home. The main level includes an large parlor, a reception area and a formal dining room with large arched pocket doors. Upstairs you will find 4 bedrooms, one is a double that can be a used as a suite. The smaller bedroom in the back of the house has an amazing shower in a closet, which will always be a point of interest for visitors. The place that will draw you to it almost every day is the large covered front porch. Sit and enjoy. This is the Galena Home you are looking for.
