Fine craftsmanship and detail-work can be found throughout many of the city’s residences, especially in the historic sections, like Forest Park Heights, McKnight, and Quadrangle-Mattoon. Natives and visitors alike marvel at the “character” of many of these homes and are happy to trade the conveniences of newer construction for the charm that is found within these magnificent structures.
