Colby-Peterson Historic Farmhouse #211614121
Description
The Colby-Petersen Farmhouse is a historic home at 4112 McCullom Lake Road in McHenry, Illinois. The family built a Greek Revival farmhouse circa 1850; characteristic Greek Revival elements of the house include a porch supported by columns, dentillated brickwork, and a frieze band. Danish immigrant Peter Petersen married into the Colby family in 1901, and when he inherited the home in 1914, it became known as the Petersen Farm.
