It was extended in 1829 and again between 1850 and 1852 with a two-story Italianate wing.","why_significant":"The house is significant for its association with jurist and legislator Charles Drury Hodges and other nineteenth-century Carrollton notables, including early settler Samuel Lee Jr. and Colonel Edward Baker, later a U.S. Senator from Oregon. It is also one of Carrollton's finest surviving examples of both Federal and Italianate architecture.","narrative":"Begun about 1825, this brick house on North Main Street in Carrollton grew in three stages. The original one-story, two-room dwelling with gable roof and gallery was built for early settler Samuel Lee Jr., the first county clerk of Greene County. A 1829 extension added Federal-style details such as parapeted end-wall chimneys and a dentiled fascia board. Lee's widow later lived here with her second husband, Colonel Edward Baker, an attorney who went on to represent Oregon in the U.S. Senate. Judge Charles Drury Hodges bought the house in 1850 and soon added a two-story Italianate wing with a low hip roof and paired brackets. Hodges served as county judge, congressman, circuit judge and state senator, and lived here until his death in 1884. The house became offices in 1921, losing some original features, and was bought by a local bank in 1974 to prevent demolition. It is valued for these associations and for its Federal and Italianate architecture.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1825-1884","architect_builder":"Moses Stevens?","architectural_style":"Federal and Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Converted to an office building in 1921 and bought by the Greene County National Bank in 1974 to forestall demolition; condition is marked as deteriorated and altered.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:35.49577-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/15/8929/28892915/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/80001364.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80001364/9e408868d2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80001364/9e408868d2-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hodges_House_in_Carrollton.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hodges_House_in_Carrollton.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28892915","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodges_House_(Carrollton,_Illinois)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5876107"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/greene-county/hodges-house-80001364/"}
