119. East. Main Street - Westphalia Historical Society Museum Erected in 1887 as a General Store for Fechtel-Hilkemeyer until sold by Miss Alice Fechtel to the Society for use as the museum, in 1973. A millinery shop was formerly housed on the upper floor. The large walnut double-glass door showcase, with large lower drawers (now to the rear of the museum) was used to display hats. The one-story addition on the west stide was built for A.L. Hilkemeyer for use as a chicken hatchery (1930s) and later leased to the local Knights of Columbus Council, until they erected their first hall at the corner of Maries Avenue and Linn Street. |
