DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) — Last week, it was announced that the public would be able to step inside the historic Powers Mansion before the new owner begins restoration.

Norma Fick closed on the mansion last September after a tumultuous summer in which it had to be auctioned a second time when the first buyer could not complete the sale.

There is currently a line wrapped around the block full of people waiting to see inside the 114-year-old home. From 4 to 6:30 p.m., visitors will be able to tour the building for $5. All proceeds will go toward restoration.

The tour is part of the 6th annual Historic Preservation Week.
