We have been working on refurbishing the exterior of a pre-Civil War home.

The Willis Allen House, located in historic South Market St. in downtown Marion, IL, is the first house built in Williamson County. It was built by Congressman Willis Allen in 1854. It is the oldest remaining house in Marion, at 165 years old.

It has been under the care of Jack Home Construction since the 1980s.

Today we were specifically working on rebuilding the exterior windows that were originally set when the house was first built.

Below is a before and after of one of the windows.
