Andrew M. Hargis, president and co-founder of Grand Island Business College, built the Hargis House at the corner of Second and Lincoln Streets in 1898.
The Hargis family occupied the house until moving to California. Other owners include Christ Lutheran Church, Johnston Sanitarium and the Grand Island Woman’s Club.
The home is now owned by the nonprofit Hargis House Woman’s Club. Members are working to restore and save the residence so it can be shown and used for the community. The house is listed on The National Registry.
All are invited to attend. Please call 308-850-1480 to reserve a seat to allow for adequate seating. Hargis House is located at 1109 W. Second St. in Grand Island.
