How about that library! I love that room! What are your thoughts on some of the interior color choices? The house was built in 1890. It is located on .27 acre in Galesburg, Illinois. The house features original wood floors, wainscoting, crown moulding, library with built-in bookshelves, baseboards, crown moulding, stained glass, double front doors and a pretty staircase. I would tone down some of the interior colors, but paint is an easy fix. There is a large detached garage on the property. Five bedrooms, three bathrooms and 3,259 square feet. $225,000
