Campus & Uptown Broadway
[Normal, Illinois]
The homes of beautiful broadway Sitting on a large corner lot in the Cedar Crest Historic District this Queen Anne home is an expansive piece of history to take in. Built in 1890 it remained a home until the 1940s, when it was converted into apartment units. In 1994, after 50 years, the homeowners decided it was time that 5 Broadway Place be restored to its original glory as a single family residence.

Attr ibutes of the Queen Anne Style •Absence of symmetry •Large verandas and gables •Variety of shingles and clapboards •Ornate milled woodwork
Built in 1921 this two story American Foursquare inspired home sits on a large lot with a picturesque white picket fence. The arched entry, awnings and shutters add charm to this quaint Broadway home.

1105
This home, built in 1927, most certainly has a different look than its neighbor at 1005 Broadway. A unique aspect of this house is that it features two architectural styles. The base of the home features American Foursquare characteristics, while the roof is a typical Bungalow style.
This Queen Anne styled home, built in 1916 by Orson Leroy Manchester, is quite a sight to see amongst Normal’s historical homes. Manchester, once a dean at Illinois State University and mayor of Normal, was deeply inspired by the Victorian era and his home captured this essence.

[ 905
Built in 1913, the home at 905 Broadway Avenue features squared columns and halftimbering that surrounds its exterior. Some countries in which half-timbering is frequently seen include England, Germany, and Norway. Many half-timbered homes in the Midwest were built by German settlers that brought both the technique and their own cultural heritage. These homes often include open planned spaces and energy efficient, enclosed spaces.
Attr ibutes of the Half Timber ing Style •Exposed wood framing •Spaces filled with plaster, brick or stone •A popular type of ornamentation in the United States •Featured in Queen Anne, Victorian, Swiss Chalet, and Tudor style houses

This classic one room schoolhouse, called the Rose Hill School, was originally located on Hovey Road. Built in 1899 after a windstorm destroyed the former brick building, the schoolhouse had separate boys and girls playgrounds and held class for children in grades 1-8. In May 1965, the Rose Hill School was dedicated in the honor of Miss Laura Eyestone, who began her teaching career in a one room schoolhouse in McLean County and then became an outstanding teacher in the Laboratory School at ISU.
1899
Style: Vernacular one room schoolhouse. Williams Hall opened in 1940 and was named after Arthur R. Williams, the first head of the Business Education Department and the second teacher hired for the Business Department. Featured on the Discovery Channel for paranormal activity, Williams Hall was the first library at ISU until 1976. The current Milner Library at ISU was named after Ange V. Milner, the first librarian at Williams Hall from 1890 to 1928.
1940
Style: Red brick Georgian exterior with sandstone columns. Gray marble foyer with double winding stairs in the interior.
Old Main, though no longer standing, was the first building on ISU’s campus. At the time, the school’s name was Illinois State Normal University. The corner stone with a time capsule was laid by W.H. Powel and Jesse Fell on September 29, 1857, and the last brick was put in place in November 1859. The building stood for 98 years and had many renovations before it was torn down on June 16, 1958.
1857
Style: Architect George P. Randall classified the style as modified Renaissance, but the building was said to be an unclassifiable mixture of styles.

Cook Hall was named after John W. Cook , the fourth president of the school. Built in 1898, it was originally used as a gymnasium and today serves as rehearsal hall for the School of Music. The building was designed by Miller & Fisher, who were local architects.
1898
Style: Architect George Miller classified the building as Richardsonian style mixed with a Gothic Castle style using rusticated Bedford limestone and designed to be fireproof.
Hewett House was built in the 1860s by Edwin C. Hewett, who was one of the first professors at ISU. He then moved on to serve as the school’s third president from 1876 to 1890. The Hewett House, located on College Avenue, now serves as the Ecology Action Center. This house has a reputation of being one of the finest Italianate/ Greek Revival houses in Normal.
1860
Style: Greek Revival Italianate. The Normal Theater, built in 1937, was said to be very avant garde for a small Illinois town. It featured plush, coral colored seating and blue, maroon, and salmon colored walls with aisle lights and multi-layered colored neon lights on the ceiling. This building represented luxury and glamour in Normal. The building closed in the early 1990s and reopened in 1999.
1937
Style: Sleek art-deco style with artmodern architecture.

“I never realized how much history was in this town. Everyone who ever lives here should educate themselves about its history.� Junior, Information Scout
“I have lived here for 2 years and didn’t realize all of the rich history around me, so I am glad we could bring a little of that to the community.” Junior, Copy Editor
“It really made us look at the town in a whole new light. We had to bring the creativity and essence of Normal all into one piece of paper. Projects like these really help open up your eyes to what is around you and make you notice things that you wouldn’t have paid attention to before.” Junior, Information Scout
