McHENRY COUNTY HISTORIC PRESERVATION LANDMARK

This impressive Queen Anne house made a remarkable recovery after being a multi-family dwelling. It has all the hallmarks of a Queen Anne from the wraparound front porch, steeply pitched roof and irregular shape along with its asymmetrical footprint. A unique feature is its square bay with its multi-sided turret. The fish scale siding in the peaks and the beautiful leaded beveled glass windows are other exceptional elements. It was built by Schneider and Clark. George Burger was a coal & implement dealer with community interests having served on the Woodstock Board of Education & was nominated as a Woodstock Alderman for the North side.
