The Great House
501 E. Losey St., Galesburg, IL 61401
Bed & Breakfast
The imposing columns at the head of Chambers Street is a wonderful relic of Galesburg's early years.
Local legend says that the basement of the house was used as a station on the "underground railroad," hiding runaway slaves on their way north to freedom. The house at 501 East Losey was built for Silas Willard in 1856-57 as a residence for his family. He purchased eleven acres of ground around this homesite from Hiram Kellogg.
