Originally a small farmhouse built in 1870 by Alfred Sawyer family, this home was purchased in 1888 by Abram Ellwood, son of Rueben Ellwood, the first mayor of Sycamore. Ellwood added the back-half addition and fancied up the original house adding a Victorian flavor. Returned elaborate outhouse is a favorite playhouse with attic in the inviting backyard. 2-car barn garage displays loft doors, walk-up loft area and offers a garden shop. This is a one-of-a-kind Sycamore treasure!
