This is a gorgeous home that needs love and attention. You have 2 amazing, hardworking and creative people who are willing to restore this home and have their lives in a constant state of renovation, all for the love of history. I grew up across the street from this house and have seen it change hands numerous times and watched it almost wilt away. These people have what it takes to restore this home to it's former glory if given the chance. There's no reason why they shouldn't.

This is a wonderful old home that needs lots of work. By allowing them to hold functions to create income would help preserve and restore this beautiful mansion.

I hope to save this house so that future generations might appreciate what the past was like I lived near this home when I was growing up and had schoolmates who lived there.

Duncan Manor has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979, and has been an iconic property since construction began in 1866. The Italianate architecture has always been revered as one of the most beautiful structures in Mclean County. The Agricultural Significance of the property is just as noteworthy, as the original owner, William R. Duncan, moved to Mclean County, from Kentucky, to breed Cattle. Duncan and his son, a tenant English herdsmen, and two Swedish farmhands were regarded as breeders of the finest Short Horned Cattle in McLean County. His prized Bull, “Herdsmen”, historically was the basis for a huge increase in short horn stock in post-Civil War McLean County, and garnered many County and State Fair prizes between 1866 and 1876. The potential this property has for future cultural and agricultural education activities is endless, and should be preserved at all costs.

Good luck with this effort. I support preservation of Duncan Manor and its use as a social/cultural/educational resource in our County. The proposed zoning change makes sense for these purposes.

The special use zoning should definitely be passed! It is a wonderful way for people to enjoy these historic homes and barns! Without this zoning, many of these places won't be able to provide enough revenue to keep the properties up and enjoyable for the community!

My husband Steve and I both support historic preservation. I have been tracing my family tree since I was 15 yrs old. I also trace my husbands. I belong to The Fort in Lexington, IL Lexington Genealogical and Historical Society. Not Just Mclean County. It is other counties too. We show our kids the love of history and family. THEY ARE OUR FUTURE!!

I have very much enjoyed visiting Duncan Manor. It's especially great to see it from the highway. It would be nice if the government would support them in their effort as the community has been.
