Built in 1864, this 150 year old lannon stone home still stands strong with a rich heritage.  The home was built by “the Founder of Hinsdale,” William Robbins.  It was later sold to the Washburn family, who developed the American Beauty Rose,  and the surrounding grounds were used for greenhouses.  Although originally designed as a Victorian gothic, the exterior has been changed several times over the years to its current colonial revival style.  11 ft. ceilings on first floor, 10 ft. on 2nd. Noteworthy alterations include the addition of the current Great Room/Library, added in 1897, as well as the addition of the stone front patio, originally a stable.  Currently, the home reflects historic architectural characteristics from its intricate Italian plaster moldings and room edge borders to the hand-cut parquet floors.
