Griggs House
505 W. Main Street
Businessman and civic leader Clark Robinson Griggs built this home in 1871 as a wedding gift for his son. While serving in the state legislature, Griggs’ efforts helped to secure the University of Illinois for his hometown. The house is a fine example of Italianate architecture, with its paired brackets, wide eaves, and tall windows.
