Koblegard Haus — Brief Historical Narrative & Legacy Koblegard Haus was built in 1893 by Lloyd Rinehart for the Koblegards, one of the most prominent names in Weston and Central West Virginia. The home reflects the success and influence of Jacob Koblegard, a Danish immigrant who arrived in the United States in 1866 and became a leading figure in the region's wholesale grocery industry through the Ruhl/Koblegard Company, the largest of its kind in Central West Virginia. Jacob and his wife, Isophene Powell Koblegard, settled in Weston and raised their children in the home, which became a symbol of their economic and civic stature. Beyond business, Jacob served as President of the National Exchange Bank of Weston and was involved in additional industrial ventures, further shaping the local economy. The Koblegards lived in the home until 1907. After selling the property and relocating, Isophene's son, Thorn Koblegard, later repurchased the house in 1919 following Jacob's death and resided there with his mother until her passing in 1945. During the 1920s, the home underwent notable renovations influenced by architectural styles admired by the owners. Thorn Koblegard continued the legacy as a respected community leader and entrepreneur. He co-founded the United Carbon Company in 1925 and gained national recognition for developing an exceptional Hereford cattle herd, ultimately donating the entire herd to West Virginia University in 1957 to support agricultural education and research. Following Thorn's death in 1965, the property passed through several owners and served various community roles, including more than three decades as a private residence and later as the headquarters of The Weston Democrat. After additional ownership transitions, the home was auctioned in 2019. In August 2019, the current owners acquired Koblegard Haus and began a thoughtful restoration, preserving its historic character while revitalizing the property for modern use, ensuring its continued legacy within the Weston community.
