W.E. Heginbotham House (Holyoke Public Library)

Phillips County

Will Heginbotham hired contractor Michael McEachern in 1919 to construct this one-and-one-half-story building of red molded brick, with half timbered gable ends.  The site consists of the late Craftsman Style house finished in 1921, a matching garage and covered gateways, and landscaped grounds.

A view of the house from the front with multiple gables and white lattice work inside a red background. On the right stands a tall leafless tree and there are more in the background and a street before the building.

W.E. Heginbotham House (Holyoke Public Library)

Heginbotham was president and owner of the Farmer’s and Merchant’s Bank and very active in civic affairs.  He left his entire estate to the town of Holyoke and Phillips County, and the home is now the Holyoke Public Library.
