C. P. Strehly House, 130 Second Street, Hermann, Gasconade County, MO

Significance: The C.P. Strehly House exemplifies the residential and commercial architecture of Hermann's earliest period of settlement. The basement of the house was the print shop of C.P. Strehly and Edward Muhl, publishers of Hermann's first newspaper Licht-Freund, the two story commercial building was built to accommodate a tavern and winery opened in 1857. The false aproned chimneys of the winery-tavern, the half timbering and extended facade of the house, and the position of the buildings close to the front of the lot are characteristics reflecting the German background of their builders.
