It was a tavern; now it's a LEED Gold home and office -- the first in Illinois. Beware: the pictures at Jetson Green inspire jealousy.

Get two more of them after the jump! (Go ahead -- it hurts in a good way...)

The house has wind turbines, solar panels, a rooftop garden, and plenty of other green features. Check it out!

I know where this house is and watched it go up/be rehabbed. I knew there were somethings going on that seemed to be cutting edge but this is a great addition to our town. And I hope it inspires others...Kudos to them!
