Totally love the sentry box photo (man standing on the staircase).

And the gate is tempting me with an idea for the basement project.

But pay attention to the 2nd last photo, the powder magazine and the additional structural support that was utilized. That powder magazine has been restored, but was still standing prior to the restoration, as such, I believe it is the oldest standing structure in Illinois.
