Elgin Historic House Tour 2009 Recap for those that missed it or give you a little preview of what the Gifford Park Association is accomplishing every year.

All the 8 selected homes were really well maintained and offered so many great features that we've come to love in older homes.  The most unusual home of this years tour was the Romanesque Revival built in 1887 at 364 Division St.  It duals now as a funeral parlor (a little unusual to say the least) now in Elgin and renovations on both the inside and outside are taking place.  The porte-cochere has just been restored and it gives the front of the home some of it's former grandure.

The 'Best Front Porch' Award goes to this home on Prairie which is a Queen Anne built in 1896.  A absolutely wonderful example of this classic porch.

Here's more information on the tours.
