1635 20th St Rock Island, IL (Looney's Mansion)

Built in 1897, this 6000 sq foot home started out as a reproduction of the Kelly's Queen Ann. It was originally intended to be an exact duplicate but then it had to be bigger and better. He added porches on three levels, stone pedestals, and brick and stone veneer on the exterior.

Bel Air on the Rock River

These are shots of modern day Bel Air. The two story barn was built in 1904 of dark colored stone and 18 inches thick. The basement was high enough that carriages could be driven inside. The upper two floors were devoted to a club and athletic room for his guests.
The three story house was built the next year.
