Peoria Historic Home Built by Caterpillar Co-Founder Heads for Auction on September 28
A historic home in Peoria, Illinois, built by Murray Baker, a prominent businessman who helped establish Caterpillar Inc. in the city, will be auctioned on September 28.
The property at 1222 W. Moss Ave. went into foreclosure and is now being sold to satisfy outstanding debts.
Baker was a key figure in Peoria's early industrial development, and his home reflects the architectural style of the time.
