The Haukelid/Hegg House
Haukelid & Hegg were the contactors who built the house in 1926. They specialized in stucco and, among other stucco structures, built the Lutheran Church in downtown Aberdeen. Many residents built homes of stucco after a devastating fire in 1904 which took out many of the wooden buildings in the downtown core of the city. Jacob and Olga Hegg moved in in 1926. Many years later the Heggs’ granddaughter’s cousin Susan and her husband, Doug Schermer, moved in. The Schermers later divorced and Doug resides in the home today.
It is a large home with many unique features. There is a sauna, hot tub and exercise room in the basement. There is a large sunroom on the south side of the house, five bedrooms and a marble master bath. One bedroom has a fireplace. There are many original doorknobs and fixtures, and the house has been well maintained.
