CMPL Letterbox program

Begin your search in downtown Collinsville, IL.
Locate the Good Doctor's House in the 300 block of Main (north side of the street).
The home was built by town doctor, Dr. Schroeppel in 1910. A beautiful Queen Anne home.
Dr. Wendell W. Brown later used the home as his residence and office. (Mrs Ruby Brown grew orchids in the 2nd floor greenhouse - you might say she always had a BASKET of LAVENDER FLOWERs on the table during TEA.)
Imagine you are in the 3rd floor of the tower , looking southwest. What do you see?
It is there you will find the information you seek.

Test your knowledge of the Dewey Decimal System:
This is a game & a riddle.
(Please be very quiet & don't give the location of this box away to the small patrons)

Outside is a new History Museum and an amazing Parent/Teacher Resource Room downstairs ... But you need to go upstairs - way up! Notice the "J" in the call letters below.
