This collection of digital photos show the renovation of the Benjamin Stephenson House in Edwardsville. In 1999, the City of Edwardsville bought the home from the SIUE chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. The fraternity had owned the home since 1982. The house was subsequently restored to how it was in 1820 as a living history museum. The photos were given to us by RoxAnn Raisner, Director of the Stephenson House.
