The Durant House or Durant–Peterson House is a historic residence in unincorporated St. Charles Township, Illinois near St. Charles. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
==History==
Bryant Durant was born in Ware, Massachusetts in 1808. He began work as a bricklayer when he was 13, but needed to leave Massachusetts in the 1830s to pursue better economic opportunity. Durant moved to St. Charles in 1837 to work at a family store. He purchased a lot near the city to build a house in 1843. He lived in the house until 1881, when he sold it to Godfrey Peterson. Peterson repaired and remodeled the house throughout the following decade. The Peterson family owned the lot until 1934. It was sold to the Sheldon family, who sold it to the Kane County Forest Preserve District in 1964. The district voted to restore the house as a historic site, and furnished it with 19th-century furnishings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 18, 1976 as an example of a typical modest home of the mid-19th century, and is open for free (with a suggested donation) to the public.〔http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/200724.pdf〕
