Rick Nielsen's former home (historic Lysander Jacoby House) and Mr. Nielsen's present home! Lysander C. Jacoby came to Rockford, Illinois in 1862. He purchased a lot on the Rock River and built his house by 1865. Jacoby's behavior turned increasingly eccentric. He briefly practiced law with Horace Taylor, but then became a recluse. He attended the Second Congregational Church, but otherwise spent his time in his house with his family and large library. Jacoby died on September 30, 1900 and was buried in Rockford. His daughter Lillian taught drawing and painting at Rockford College.
