Come Join Me on Sunday and Tour this Amazing Home!

10/27/2025

This week, our team at Mathis Lueker Real Estate wanted to do something special for our neighbors who are feeling the impact of the government shutdown — especially our incredible military families and federal employees who give so much to our community every single day. 🇺🇸

So, we decided to launch Operation Full Pantry — a local food drive supporting the Junction City Food Bank and the Chapman Clover Cabinet. 💛

We’re so grateful that Dillons has joined in, featuring a new item each day at the register that customers can purchase and donate. 🥫 Every small gesture truly adds up.

This Friday, October 31st from 9 AM to 5 PM, we’ll be collecting donations at our office — Mathis Lueker Real Estate & Property Management - 809 S Washington - Stop by, drop off a few items, and enjoy some cookies, coffee, and cider with us. ☕🍪

It’s amazing how a simple can of food can help fill not just a pantry, but a heart. ❤️

This community always takes care of its own — and I couldn’t be prouder to be part of it.

Get to know the Abilene Victorian Inn -The Hurd Room

Named after Arthur Hurd, 2nd residential owner of the house. He was the Mayor in 1911, an attorney of 5 generations, married to Maud Rogers. They had 2 children; George and Janet. Arthur purchased the house in 1916, doubled it in size in 1920 still as a residence. Arthur Hurd purchased it in 1916. Over time (in the 1920‑s) he expanded it, adding more bedrooms and parlors, updating features (e.g. porch, pergola) while preserving many of its Queen Anne stylistic elements. Arthur wrote a letter of recommendation as Mayor to encourage Dwight Eisenhower to attend West Point. This room may have been Swede’s room originally. (See the previous post about the Hazlett Room)

Get to know the Abilene Victorian Inn - First up the Hazlett Room

One of the most captivating spaces in the Abilene Victorian Inn is the Hazlett Room, named after its original owner, Dr. Edward Hazlett, a prominent physician and surgeon in the early days of Abilene. Dr. Hazlett founded the first hospital in Abilene and was a key member of the Episcopal Church, as well as a highly respected Thirty-Second Degree Scottish Rite Mason and a three-time Eminent Commander of the Knights Templar.

Dr. Hazlett married Alice Elizabeth Mott in 1857, and together they raised two children: Helen and Edward Everett Jr., affectionately known as "Swede".

Swede, born in 1892, would go on to form an enduring friendship with none other than Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1910, fresh out of high school, Swede and Eisenhower played by the fireplace in this very room, setting the stage for a lifelong bond. Swede graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis) in 1915 and was instrumental in encouraging Eisenhower to pursue his own education at West Point Academy.

Their friendship remained strong until Swede’s passing in 1958, and he is buried with honor in Arlington National Cemetery.

The Hazlett Room offers a glimpse into this remarkable history—a place where legends were born, and friendships that shaped our nation's history were forged.
