Charles O. Boynton House, Queen Anne mansion in Sycamore, United States.
The Charles O. Boynton House features intricate architectural details, multiple bay windows, and a restored front porch on Main Street in Sycamore, Illinois.
Charles O. Boynton, who arrived in Illinois in 1847, built this residence in 1887 for $12,000 after accumulating wealth through lending and land investments.
The mansion represents the architectural vision of George O. Garnsey, who designed multiple notable structures throughout Illinois and Wisconsin during the late 19th century.
The property underwent restoration work to return the front porch to its 1880s configuration after serving as a retail space for gifts and antiques in the 1940s.
The grand ballroom of this National Register-listed property was converted into a master bedroom following the house's sale outside the Boynton family in 1986.
