Here's your opportunity to acquire a piece of our Nation's agricultural history in the heart of Illinois. This home was built in 1870 by W.J. Orendorff, the "O" in P&O Plow, predecessor to International Harvester Company in Canton. After serving as a Rectory for St.Mary's Catholic Church for 80 years, this historic home was purchased at auction in 1999 by the current owners.
