If walls could talk, then these walls would tell you the story of the Himmelberger family that built and lived at this address from 1921 to 1952, and the college students, majoring in home economics, that were honored to live in the home that was once called the Finest Home in SE Missouri ! This historic Himmelberger home's exterior is made out of very unique red, mat brick and Bedford stone. The Himmelberger family hired A.F. Lindsey, a Sikeston architect, to design this home and Samuel Boutin was the contractor. The attention to detail and design are extraordinary for this time period. Large rooms and lots of natural sunlight highlight the balance of the different woods used in the home. The staircase is stunning and sets the stage for the home's personality. Wide hallways and large windows capture the feel of this home. This historic property can be described as Iconic and Unique! We are looking for the next special person who will love and appreciate all this home has to offer.
