Great House, Galesburg, Illinois

The home was built for Silas Willard in 1856. Their children called it the great house, thus our name for our bed & breakfast.









This stately home mirrored the economic vitality of Galesburg in the late 1850s. Originally there were eight marble fireplaces in the home. Today there are five on the first floor: in the living room, dining room, library and music room. Richard and Betty took over ownership in November 1993, and have been busy constructing and remodeling ever since.
