About This Home

As of November 2022

Imagine the possibilities of this two-story historic frame home! This diamond in the rough located on beautiful Park Avenue, is close to Grant Park and the pedestrian bridge leading to Main Street Galena with its many shops and restaurants. Great fixer-upper opportunity to transform this home into the beautiful place that it once was. Otis Horton built the home in 1871 as a rental and Lillie Smith was the first to occupy the home which has been in the Smith family ever since. Large backyard with panoramic views of Galena and a great location. Sold "As Is".
