When I revised and expanded this article in 2009, I neglected to include footnotes, for which I apologize. I will add citations to this article as time permits. In the meantime (from memory):

Information on the founders of Batavia Institute came from the original Charter (February 1853, p. 1), now located in the Archives at Beloit College in Wisconsin.
Information on the structure itself came from the National Register Information System (NRIS) and the National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form.
The wonderful details on the bid for the first Illinois normal school in 1857 came from a published history of Illinois State University (Normal, Illinois).
Information on the later occupants of (and uses for) the building came from various sources, mainly Historic Batavia (1998) by Marilyn Robinson and Jeffery D. Schielke; the NRIS; and the National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form.
