About This Home
Built in 1878, this beautifully restored Italianate-style house, known locally as "The Brick House," is a Morrison landmark rich in history and charm. Once home to suffragist Gertrude Foster Brown and later a beloved local restaurant, the property features exquisite 19th-century craftsmanship, including detailed woodwork, tall ceilings, and wraparound verandas. Restorations began in 2022 to present, and include a new roof, HVAC, water and gas line, vinyl privacy fence, and water softener system. This home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Morrison's history. The home retains many original features, including wood floors, decorative woodwork, fireplaces & curved stairway. The gathering rooms and bedrooms are generously sized, lending a spacious feeling. The custom kitchen is newly renovated with high-end Forno appliances, all new electrical, plumbing, light fixtures, Pergo floors, solid wood painted cabinets, hand-crafted island and countertops, brass accents and fixtures, restored vintage cement sink, and hood vent. The ceilings of the sitting room, dining room, hall, and parlor have elaborate plaster centerpieces. The doors and woodwork throughout the home are black walnut, and the newel post is a masterpiece constructed of 261 separate pieces of black walnut and bird's eye maple. The first floor consists of 12 rooms, including a family room, living room, dining room, sitting room, back entry, and bedroom, and of course the freshly renovated kitchen and pantry - then the 2 half baths (1 recently renovated) and coat room. On the second floor are 4 bedrooms, a newly renovated full bathroom, a second kitchen, and laundry. The third floor is a large open room. The cupola or Belvedere, and the second-story screened-in porch offer panoramic views. The foundation, door sills, and window sills are of the finest Joliet stone. Three covered verandas adorn the house, the front porch recently rebuilt, and offer scenic places to relax. When built, it was said that no other house this side of Chicago was equal to Mr. Foster's in this respect. Located in Morrison's Historical Preservation Residential District. Extensive list of renovations completed upon request or available to Realtors on the MLS.
