Description

Two blocks east of the Square is the residential area once called the "Silk Stocking District". East Main Street was the home of Carlinville's wealthy professional class: merchants, bankers, doctors, and lawyers. These beautiful Victorian mansionsa and stately Federals are still privately owned today.
