Country Mansion

Long a landmark of scenic Dwight, Illinois, The Country Mansion has had a colorful and productive past, and since 1980 has been on the “National Register of Historic Places.”  Built in 1891, this grand Victorian was originally a Scott House, a twenty room boarding house located one block northeast of its present location.  According to town historians, in 1894 the three-story structure was moved by the use of horses to its current site, which at that time was the grounds of the Keeley Institute, an internationally known alcohol recovery hospital.
