The first house built in Champaign County — This house was built by William Sadorus, not far from the Okaw river, a half mile southwest of the present village of Sadorus.
The house contained six spacious rooms, each of which had a fireplace. It faced south, that being the side shown in the picture.
A large room in the east end on the ground floor, was Lincoln's room, one he occupied when making trips across the country. Extending to the north is an 'L' in which are the kitchen and dining room. On the east side of the 'L' is a large veranda.
