Yeah - I saw that... I'd meant to post more but two major forces kept me from getting it done... (my two boys!)

A little research on that Rock Island house...

Traced it as far back as 1916 but there was no record of the size of the building. It was bought/sold in 1916, 1920, 1926, 1936, 1966, and the current owners bought it in 1992. I suspect it pre-dates 1916 but wasn't able to go much further with the deeds tonight than that.

That little house on the little island is very interesting!
