Sitings Along the Interstate

My wife and I went up to Michigan 2 weeks ago and we took Illinois Interstate 57 North at mile marker 286 (I think) near Gilman IL there were two barns that appeared to be built on stilts. They were on the East side of the interstate. I didn't have my camera ready and didn't get a picture of them. Does anyone live close by to these barns that could possibly share a picture of them?

Then yesterday on my way back from Chicago IL driving South on Illinois interstate 55 at mile marker #186 I saw a giant brick house on the East side of the hiway that I never noticed before. I didn't have a camera with me. Does anyone live close to this place and could share a picture of it? The house was huge and old. I would love to share them here.

My email is open if anyone can email me pictures of these two different structures I would sure love to have a picture of these.

Thanks,
John B.
 
John I can't help you with Pics but it seems we may have the same interests. Here in Iowa they have what is called the Iowa Barn Foundation. It can if you meet the requirements reimburse you for part of the cost of restoring a old historic, unusual barn or corncrib. These barns are open to the public for two days a year. Last weekend the wife & I toured parts of Iowa on this Barn Tour looking at these barns. We had a great time & met lots of nice people that were so proud of saving these old barns. All had interesting stories to go with them. Gerald
 
Just an idea--if you know about where these were, go to google maps satellite view, look for the buildings, and if you find it go to street view and you may get a pretty good picture.
A couple years back they tore down a quaint little gas station near me and I wished I had a picture of it. Went to google maps street view and it was still there, took a photo of my computer screen. Kind of crude maybe but sometimes you have to be creative.
