About This Property

This Victorian brick home was built by Dr. and Mrs. I.B. Nofsinger in 1906. Dr. Nofsinger came to Elgin from McDade in 1900 even though there were four other physicians in town. It was a smart move considering the population grew from 832 people in the year 1890, to 1709 people in the year 1910. Mrs. Nofsinger designed the house and the floor plan. The ground-level rooms have 11 foot 10 inch ceilings, and the upstairs rooms have 9 foot ceilings. Bricks were made from deep red clay manufactured by the Elgin Press Brick Company. The tall cupola on the left front adds to the uniqueness of the home. In 1980, the home was purchased by Elgin Savings and Loan and was converted to the use of a savings & loan. Currently the home serves as Elgin City Hall and was restored in 2003.
