The woodwork is amazing in this house! I have never seen a doorway quite like the one in the dining room of this house! The home was built in 1895. It is located in Quincy, Illinois.

There is a grand staircase and then a servants staircase that reaches all four floors of the home. The home has two porches. Six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and 4,001 square feet. $229,900
