Non-notable historical building. Not listed on the NRHP [1]. Sourcing is all primary. Appears PROMO for a tourist attraction. Oaktree b (talk) 19:28, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Consdering the AfD posting was the third-ever edit to this new page, and the page is only sourced to primary sources, a good WP:BEFORE search is necessary and it's crystal clear this house comes up often in multiple local news sources (newspaper and television), and has been referenced in several books. There's a chance the coverage as a whole doesn't add up to GNG, but there's definitely coverage out there, and I haven't even searched old newspapers yet.

Keep Historical buildings don't have to be on the NRHP to be notable, and this one has plenty of coverage in non-primary sources: see [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. It's included in the Illinois Historic Sites Survey Inventory, though their database is under construction so finding info is a bit of a pain right now. It's also been referenced in books, as SportingFlyer mentioned. The article needs cleanup and better sourcing, but AfD isn't cleanup.
