About the host
Hosted by The Property Manager
A retired teacher, school administrator and college professor, I enjoy people very much. My entire life has been spent serving people. Thus, I opened up The Historic Goeppinger Building to short term and long term guests in 2019. It was an enjoyable thing to do because it gave me an opportunity to continue to meet people from all over the planet.
The Historic Goeppinger Building itself is owned by Story Street Properties, LLC. The building maintains the Goeppinger name because it was built by the Goeppinger family in 1915. The 100th Anniversary of the Goeppinger Building was celebrated in 2015 with tours of the building, presentations by original Goeppinger family members and lots of good food. We continue to celebrate the Goeppinger building by striving to restore the building back to its' original grandeur.
When I am not in Boone, I am on the original family farm in South Dakota. It has been in my family since the early 1900's. My husband and I spend time in both places and enjoy collecting antiquities and furnishing our dwellings with our treasures. Our son is now the Resident Manager of the building. You may see him, busy with projects during your stay, and he will be here to keep your coffee supply filled or to help with anything else that you need..

Why they chose this property
We have always loved history and we are lovers of antiquities. So, in 2007, when I needed to find a place to relocate my Linens store, my family bought the Goeppinger building. We moved my store from south Story Street into the building and I opened a diner and a fine dining by-reservation only-restaurant.
The Goeoppinger family, who designed and built the building, has a long and interesting history in Boone. I used to go on walks through town and when I passed the Goeppinger Building, I would stop and peer through the windows. I was attracted to the wrought iron railings and banisters, the marble staircase, the terrazzo floors and the Florentine art glass windows. I was impressed by the businesses of longevity in the building. Belluci's Pizza House since 1965 and Kelly's Salon 908 for several years. A well known realtor held an office on second floor since the 1950's and a psychologist was leasing several rooms on second floor for therapy rooms and offices. The third floor had six turn-of-the century apartments and several of them held leases. I was filled with intrigue, and when it came up for sale, I knew I wanted to buy it. Gratefully, my whole family pitched in and buying the building became a reality.
