Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Spring Valley House-Sulfur Springs Hotel in Utica Township, IL (c. 1853). It is also known as the Half-Way House for its position roughly halfway between Chicago and Peoria. A building known as the Sulfur Springs Hotel has been here from at least 1838, though it is uncertain at what point the current structure was built. A large mortgage taken out from a landowner in 1851 suggests that it may have been constructed around then. Aside from coaches headed in between Chicago and Peoria, the hotel also serviced passengers en route to Chicago from St. Louis. Often, the canal past LaSalle was not navigatable, so passengers would diembark in Peru and take a coach the rest of the way. The road on the north side of the river was one of the busiest coach lines in the state. The hotel was active until at least 1862. The hotel is named for the springs that flow just to the south of it. |
