Hoefel Haus resides in an historic 1910 Queen Anne residence that was once the house of a former mayor, Fred Ruether. The loving restoration to its glory took place over 2017-2018. We are pleased to share the authentic architectural detailing that was prevalent in a time when paddle wheels, Model A’s and locomotives brought you to your destination.
Washington, Missouri was a bustling port in that era and remains full of the history and community that makes it a standout in the Midwest.
