Good morning! My grandfather owned a cafe/bar in Wheeling many years ago, probably in the mid ‘20’s to mid ‘30’s, my best guess. It was called Winklhofer’s Cafe, his last name. We have some of the original bar ware and a Bentwood chair. Would you have any information or pictures on file? Thank you for any help you can provide!

Hello. My family on my father's side lived in Wheeling from the 1920's until 1954. During much of that time, they owned and operated The Apollo restaurant in downtown Wheeling. Can you help me with the former location of the restaurant? Additionally, my father worked at the Rex Theater during high school. Does that building still exist? Thank you in advance.

We are Wheeling, Illinois. If you are looking for West Virginia, they have closed their Historical Society, but you can contact the local library there, as they kept all the information.

A relative informed me that my grandfather (deceased) had been the banquet manager at Chevy Chase and was fondly remembered by the Giancana family. Do you have any records of a Frank E Bourget who worked there?

THANK YOU,

I was born and raised in Wheeling, West Virginia and now live in California. I am very curious as to why your village was named after Wheeling, WV. It also seems more than a coincidence that your high school has the same colors and wildcat mascot as my Alma mater in Wheeling, WV. I hope you can enlighten me.

Thanks.

I am trying to understand the history of why Wheeling, ILL is named after Wheeling, WV. I was born and raised in Wheeling, WV and now live in California.

You have a very nice website. Congratulations for your good work.

My grandmother was Lorraine Haben and she was a large part of the society until she passed. Thank you for never forgetting the past and my grandmother

My grandfather's house was on Milwaukee Ave. Next door was a machine shop and next to that a huge hotel that would have been elegant in its day. As a child going there every week in the 50's I watched much of Wheeling being built.
