Peoria Home Built by Caterpillar Co-Founder Goes Up for Auction
A historic home in Peoria built by Murray Baker, a prominent businessman who helped establish Caterpillar Inc. in the city, will be auctioned off on September 28 after it went into foreclosure.
The property at 1222 W. Moss Ave. was once owned by Baker and has been a part of the city's history for decades.
Baker was instrumental in helping establish Caterpillar Inc. in Peoria, and his legacy continues to be felt in the community today.
The auction will provide an opportunity for new owners to purchase this piece of history and preserve its significance in the city's development.
