What I Love About The Home
The historic house located at 411 North Wentz Street in Macon, Macon County, Missouri is a sprawling old Queen Anne nested away in Macon County. Built in 1875, this Victorian beauty still has many of its original touches ? including extensive breathtaking woodwork. The style of architecture and history are both intriguing and important to the local community, as well as its inhabitants. Having been previously vacant for a number of years and left to decay prior to Patrick Lilley acquiring the house, it has been robbed of its finesse by time and the elements. The front façade with the diamond designs on the front, the patterns across the second level, the wrap-around porch, fine craftmanship in the delicately carved banisters, the columns and inlay around the fireplaces are all true to the time period. Reroofing and air conditioning/heating addition have been completed. This historic house is a landmark.
