Description

HISTORY
This Colonial Revival Bungalow was designed and built for prominent businessman Andrew Wiegel and his family circa 1900. Wiegel was the president and treasurer of the Tacoma-based Wiegel Candy Company, Wholesale Confectioners and Candy Manufacturers. He immigrated from Holland to Michigan in 1870 and married his wife Altha in 1871. The couple had two sons, Walter and John. Wiegel worked as a confectioner in Michigan until 1890, when he moved his family to Tacoma. Andrew and his brothers Walter and Rudolph established the Wiegel Candy Company in April of 1892 with a storefront in South Tacoma. In 1904, they moved the business to a new building that they constructed at 1922 Pacific Avenue (currently the Cherry Parkes Building on the UW Tacoma campus). Weigel was active in Tacoma society and a member of the prestigious Community Club.

Altha remarried after Andrew's death in 1920 and remained in the house until 1926. By 1933, her son Walter moved into the family home with his wife Gussie. Walter continued to run the Wiegel Candy Company in his father's absence and died in 1964.

The Wiegel House is eligible for inclusion on the Tacoma Register of Historic Places, given its association with the Wiegel family and as a fine early example of the Colonial Revival Bungalow style, popular in the early 1900s.
