Huegel House c. 1845, is the largest stone house in town. It is distinctive for its size, the blind mitered arches above the openings and the decorated lintel. This inscribed lintel or Hausspruch bears the initials "J.H.E.H." of Joseph Huegel and his wife. Elizabeth Huegel was the proprietor of a tavern and inn which explains the moon and sun-open day and night. This was also the town's first post office. Note the "bowed out" stone wall along Water Street. 

Some may wonder, why do you have a moon and sun on your logo? Well, Village of Spires legendary resident and aspiring tour guide, Gary Munchel tells it best in this youtube video: Legendary Stories of Oldenburg Indiana!
