**Historic Galena Offering - Two 1840s Miners' Cottages on a Spacious Lot** Situated on storied Division Street-once believed to mark the dividing line between the City of Galena and rural West Galena-this rare property includes two authentic miners' cottages dating back to the 1840s. Offered together, these homes sit on a generous 100' x 100' lot and offer a unique blend of preserved character, vintage charm, and outdoor space to roam or relax. The larger of the two cottages (891 sq. ft.) features steps leading to an inviting front porch, perfect for enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Inside, you'll find a cozy living room and alcove, kitchen, full bath, and two bedrooms-each brimming with historic touches. Most furnishings remain, including a grandfather clock, antique stove, armoires, vintage pictures, a table and chairs, and various historical mementos-offering a fully immersive experience. Former gas light fixtures converted to electric remain in the bedrooms, and the lift latch box locks of British origin are appropriate for this age dwellings. Check out the white window latches that came from the Anthony House in Chicago. A partial, unfinished basement adds storage or potential. A sidewalk from the kitchen leads to the second dwelling: a charming studio cottage with 598 sq. ft. of living space on the upper level includes a large gathering room with multiple closets and a full bath, while the main level features a spacious kitchen with ample cabinetry and pantry storage-all on a slab foundation with ground-level foyer entry. The grounds offer thoughtful features like an off-street parking pad, where remnants of rock are believed to have once supported a historic barn. A whimsical garden shed, purposely built to resemble a privy, was cleverly designed to deter "borrowing" of tools by curious passersby in the owner's absence. Whether you're drawn to its historic significance, creative potential, or simply the charm of owning a piece of early Galena, this unique dual-cottage property invites you to preserve the past while shaping the future.
