Air Conditioning in Hill Showplace Built by Benjamin Hershey
Long before modern comforts, Benjamin Hershey’s Hill top complex near Muscatine boasted steam heat running water and standpipe cooling. The Star Creamery complex included tunnels cooling a 500 foot barn, an ice house storing 3000 tons, and a French architect designed white pine main building with a 90 foot high cupola. The enterprise, begun 1877, featured a 35 horsepower steam engine and gas lighting, with a separate laundry and a fully sanitary water system, demonstrating remarkable technology for the era.
