The Bennett-Curtis House is an 18 room
mansion that was built in 1900 by George M. Bennett. Then purchased
by Illinois Senator Edward C. Curtis in 1919. The House is set on
spacious ground shaded by 100 year old maples flanked by bubbling
fountains, sweeping lawns, lush cool ferns & colorful flowers.
The interior is
beautifully decorated featuring crown molding, oak trims in-lay wood
floors, moray cloth covered walls, stain glass, velvet drapery and
more. If you are looking for a unique and historical setting for
your wedding ceremony and reception, the Bennett-Curtis House is it.
Senator Curtis and wife held their very own reception in the house
over 75 years ago.
