About this home
Step into a living piece of Champaign history at 1003 W Church Street, home to the iconic Frederick Squires House, proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally designed and built in 1927 by architect Frederick Squires, this remarkable residence was created by thoughtfully combining two earlier homes and incorporating reclaimed materials, a forward thinking approach that gives the house its rich texture and character. Every detail reflects an era when craftsmanship mattered and homes were built with intention. Inside, you will find 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, warm woodwork, inviting living spaces, and architectural elements that tell a story. One of the most special features is the solarium addition, a light filled retreat that blends beautifully with the original design and offers a peaceful place to read, gather, or simply enjoy the changing seasons. This is more than a home. It is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a property with deep roots in Champaign's architectural history. For the buyer who values old houses, meaningful design, and the stories held within historic walls, this one is truly special. The roof and gutters will be completely replaced in April 2026....
