Date of House is 1865 not 1836[edit]

Per the sign in front of the house, it dates to 1904. the reference does not say Stickney built this particular house. 1836 looks to be way too early; the county was not even platted at that time and no way to get all the fancy materials in. I will change this date to 1904 unless someone offers better evidence tomorrow.Skates61 (talk) 04:42, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: The house dates to 1865 per the McHenry County Comprehensive Landmark List, published by the McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission, May 2016. "1904" on the sign in the photo is the address, 1904 Cherry Valley Road.Skates61 (talk) 04:56, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
