Editor's Note: The Martin and Sheila Wolfish documentation incorrectly lists Nicholas Drive which was not a valid street name for Winnebago County. A Google Maps street level search on County Highway 8 located the structure and the street address was found to be 4231 Hononegah Rd., Roscoe Township, Roscoe, IL. The structure is just outside the Village of Roscoe limits. The earliest known owner of record is Grant and Anna M. Nicholas, and the current owner is Becker. Thanks to efforts of Debbie Burner of the Tax Assessors office in the Town of Roscoe IL for verifying the street address and providing the owners' names.
Five generations of the family of Eliza Moore Nichols have lived in this cobblestone house. December 14, 1967 letter to then President of the Cobblestone Society and Museum, Olaf William Shelgren, Jr.
