Christmas is a favorite Time @ the MH!
So many fun nooks to decorate and spruce up in new ways.
We do enjoy exploring new ways to spread tidings of Joy!
-
Winter is Coming...? Coming or Going we're making strides on some interior updates, as well as getting in some good sidecar rides!

A New (beagle) resident 'Fred' has arrived! This is his first real winter and so far he is not a fan. Say Hi if you see him out being dragged on one of his winter walks.
During this time our response to queries may take a little longer (power tools beat phone beeps every time) so reach out to us via the contact button or text us @ 309.310.7049. Regardless of what winter brings, we look forward to see how the MH can put the icing (good kind) on your upcoming event.
Welcome to the MagicHouse!
Some Formal Spaces...
Built in 1928 by Architect Charles E. Hall, a prominent builder, contractor, and philanthropist of his day, the home stands in the historic Founders Grove Neighborhood of Bloomington. Aside from a showpiece of what his firm could create, Hall made it his family's residence with designs showcasing an attention to detail from a bygone era.
Hall hosted various fundraising events and tours for Bloomington Hospitals and various Chamber of Commerce soirées. He knew what he wanted in a home and worked to ensure that it suited his needs as well as his business stature.
In opening it up to guests and visitors, we seek to celebrate, share and preserve his achievement.

PICTURESQUE GROUNDS
A beautiful Japanese Dwarf Crabapple sits on its throne and holds court in the lower garden every spring.
The King once plucked an early bud to present to the Queen one season. She scolded the King for not letting it run its true course.
(The tree now only fully blooms every other year)
