Lyman Trumbull House, National Historic Landmark in Alton, Illinois.
The red brick house features three gabled dormers, a limestone foundation, and a central entrance porch supported by fluted wooden pilasters.
Senator Lyman Trumbull resided in this house from 1849 to 1863 while co-authoring the Thirteenth Amendment to abolish slavery in the United States.
The residence stands as a symbol of the civil rights movement, representing Senator Trumbull's role in drafting legislation during the Civil War period.
