T. E. Churchill House Location: Waterloo 502 South Street
This attractive Victorian-style house was built around 1867 by T. E.
Churchill, a Waterloo tax assessor and successful grain elevator
operator. His elevator stood on land leased from the Illinois Central
Railroad, near the machine shops.
Several prominent Waterloo families lived in the house after the
Churchills. One was Thomas Cascaden Jr., head of Cascaden Manufacturing
Company, a maker of feed mills, lard kettles, hay rakes and other farm
implements. Cascaden designed and patented many of his firm's products.
Another owner of the house was Paul Davis, owner of David Dry Goods
Company, located on the present site of the Waterloo Holiday Inn.
The house was sold to relatives of its present occupants in 1937.
