Clinton Estate

The process of matching these bricks was challenging due to their unique hue. We searched across central Illinois with no luck, because of their discrepancy in the clay color. After conducting research, we found that the railroad from St. Louis constructed tracks through Clinton in 1854. Thereafter, taking truckloads of pallets of bricks in that city enabled us to move forward.
As of today, we remain incomplete on the second story of the north side and approximately a quarter of the west side. Finding bricks of excellent quality with the same hue is challenging to say the least.

Here are a few projects my sons and I undertook within the interior of this original C.H. Moore brick residence. Did I mention it was built in 1855.

Here are a few photos of my two sons, Korey and Kody scraping then sanding the corbels, dental trim and windows before painting.
We were surprised the metal neoclassical headers and frieze were still in great condition after 167 years of Illinois weather.

Did you know that the Pony Express started in April of 1860? This was over 5 years after the building of this home!
