Originally homesteaded by William Mulford and his family in the early 1820's this property has served many purposes over the years. It has been said that it was used as a stagecoach stop between Chicago and Galena. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history on 5 acres in the heart of Rockford. The brick two story sits up on the hill with a grand presence.
