Welcome to the website of Hazelwood & Weber LLC. The information you obtain at this site is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should consult
with an attorney for individual advice regarding your own situation. Built in 1891 by Henry B. Denker, the home was originally called the Twin Tower House, and was the first home built in St. Charles with a furnace. H.B. Denker was born January 30, 1839, in Hanover, Germany, and came to this country in 1859, ultimately stopping at St. Charles. In addition to operating a grocery business and meat packing house, he was instrumental in organizing the St. Charles Car Company. He was its Vice President from its organization in 1872 until 1895 when he became its President, a position he held until the company was bought by the American Car and Foundry Company, now known as ACF Industries. Mr. Denker was the St. Charles County Treasurer from 1865 to 1875, and Mayor of St. Charles from 1902 to 1910. (Restored in 1982, the home currently houses the law firm of Hazelwood & Weber LLC.) The members and staff of Hazelwood & Weber LLC believe they reflect the creative and entrepreneurial spirit personified by Mr. Denker, a spirit that guides the firm's approach to client and community service.
