The above home is located at 18 West Laurel Street and is the winner of the 2022 Landmark Award. It is displayed on the cover of the 2023 Millstadt Historical Society (MHS) Calendar. It was built by one of the original founders of Centerville (Millstadt) in the 1800s. By 1900 the building became the Millstadt Brewery. Later it became a meat market in the store with slaughtering in a building behind the house. You can read more history on this interesting building on the back of the 2023 calendar.
Millstadt is located in the southwest part of St. Clair County. The Village was laid out in 1836 and was incorporated in 1875. The original residents were settlers from Germany. Much of the charm and character of the village is traceable to this heritage including many of the well-preserved 19th century brick buildings which they built. If you take a walking tour of the Village, you will still see many of the original buildings. Many of the Millstadt residents are direct descendants of the original early settlers of the Village of Millstadt and can share many history stories.
