History

At first, I thought the home might have been the 1895 Hoyleton Seminary and Orphanage. That building, however, added two wings added onto ti it 1903. The, sadly, the whole building was destroyed in 1a fire in 1915. I am thinking, though, that our featured our featured home could have been built by the same architect as the seminary.
