We are in the Central Business District of Nauvoo IL. We are a block from the Nauvoo Temple and very close to many of Nauvoo's attractions. Because of the fame of the City of Nauvoo, our guests come from all over the world. This apartment is upstairs to the world-famous Annie’s Custard Shop where you can get a delicious meal or a refreshing cold treat.
Built in 1980 - Remodeled in 2025
In 2025, Maple Canyon Co. purchased the building that contains the world-famous Annie's Custard Shop and 2 apartments upstairs. The building needed some work so, in Fall 2025, we did the following:
· New ownership of the building
· New management of the apartments
· Installed new roof
· Installed all new windows
· Replaced flooring in both bathrooms and kitchen in Edmund’s Lodge
· Reenforced 50 floor joists
· Removed old wooden unsafe, steep staircase and replaced it with new custom two-tiered steel staircase
· Converted storage room in Edmund’s Lodge into a second bathroom
· Replaced wall-mounted A/C in Aunt Sally’s Place with a new Heater/AC
· Replaced mini fridge in Aunt Sally’s Place with larger, new fridge
· Added new standalone oven range with glass cooktop in Aunt Sally’s Place
· Added new kitchen cabinet in Aunt Sally’s Place
· Added new microwave in Edmund’s Lodge
· Installed a new security camera in 5 locations on the outside of the building
· Installed new solar motion detector lights on the outside of building
· Replaced bug-attracting white spotlights on the front of building with bug-free yellow lights
· Installed new window coverings
· Installed new handrails for Annie’s doors
· Installed a gravel driveway/parking lot on the vacant lot
· Installed a soundproof floating ceiling system above the dining rooms of Annie’s Custard Shop downstairs. It is very effective in reducing the noise from late night parties, which are popular during Pageant.
· We bought the lot next door to have room for new staircase, to provide room for one reserved parking spot for each apartment and to make room for the trash dumpster
