Herpolsheimer Letterbox
H. Herpolsheimer Company was a wholesale/retail of dry goods & notions. The business established in 1880, by Mr. Henry Herpolsheimer. He was born in Prussia, November 28, 1844. He came to the United States in 1849 with his parents. He moved to Lincoln Nebraska in 1880 and his new department store opened in 1890 at S. 12th and N streets. It was considered one of the largest department stores west of the Missouri River. The building had a very ornate exterior and looked like a castle.
