This vernacular Greek Revival was likely built between 1902-1905. Emily Guerry writes, “This is the Frank Lilly house, now the property of his granddaughter, Sally Strain. Frank Lilly was one of the three brothers for whom the town is named. His sister was my great-great- grandmother. Frank Lilly and his wife, Sarah, along with his parents, are buried in the city cemetery adjacent to the Baptist Church.”

This is the Frank Lilly house, now the property of his granddaughter, Sally Strain. Frank Lilly was one of the three brothers for whom the town is named. His sister was my great-great- grandmother.

Where in Lilly is the Greek Revival House located?
Victor, it is on the right a bit past the Baptist church, heading toward Byromville. At the Walnut Circle intersection, if I recall correctly.
I know where it is. I believe that it has been renovated since I saw it last. Thanks again for all the great memories.
