Coolidge built this home in 1875. It was a nunnery for 7 years in the 1920's. Tom Fenstermaker Sr. 1951-1969. Rolfing (CFO of Wurlitzer Piano Company DeKalb) purchased in 1969 to save it from destruction. It was located west of the ranch on the hill at the granary. He purchased 12 acres from Fenstermakers & moved the house in Nov. 1969. It is estimated at 150 tons! Chimneys were moved intact as they provided stability to the structure. Note the steel I-Beams in basement. Hoffer owned in 1996. Current family purchased in 2003 & continued to maintain its historic beauty.
