This charming Victorian brick house, constructed by Dr. and Mrs. I.B. Nofsinger in 1906, has a rich history. Dr. Nofsinger moved to Elgin in 1900, despite the presence of four other physicians in the town—a wise decision, as the population nearly doubled in size by 1910. Mrs. Nofsinger took charge of the house's design and floor plan, creating a home with 11-foot-10-inch ceilings on the ground level and 9-foot ceilings upstairs. The bricks, made from deep red clay by the Elgin Press Brick Company, add to its historical charm. Today, the home serves as Elgin City Hall, having been restored in 2003.
