Modernization Project Transforms Elgin Residence into Hatchery Office
Elgin undertakes one of its largest improvements in years by remodeling the former Peter Nicklaus residence in the west part of town. Charles Capper owns the property and hires Chas. Altfillisch of Decorah to convert it into refined office rooms for a new hatchery building. The plan preserves the old black walnut staircase while updating rooms with oak finishes, built in bath fixtures, and a new asbestos shingle roof. The project includes a large south living room with a half first floor, three bedrooms on the second floor, and a modern forced air system. Construction will span several months, with work continuing through winter, as Capper and family delay moving until after next summer’s hatching season.
