I went to see this house today. Even though the park and house were closed, I was able to park along the roadside and walk up to and around the house. It's appalling how badly it has fallen into such disrepair in comparison to this video. Paint peeling, rotting wood, and a lot of neglect. Too bad the city of Kewanee can't get a group of volunteers together to do all the required repairs. This house was definitely ahead of its time and definitely worth restoring and preserving. Indeed, a hidden gem.
Wonderful video. Thank you. My second great grandfather was Cosmos Keller. Please note that his name was Cosmos although I lave seen it misspelled as Cosme once or so. Jeremiah”s old newspaper writings refer to him as Cosey.
Fascinating individual way ahead of his time!

That hurts my heart I have so many memories at that park.
Thank you
