Edward Paule Home
124 Boone's Lick - built 1865
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Paule managed the Western House hotel at Boone's Lick Trail and South Main. This was their first home. Edward Paule was the proprietor of the Monroe House, a boarding house and saloon at Third and Chauncey. He also served as mayor of St. Charles from 1897-1904. Edward Paule was the son of John Paule, a native of Bavaria and a partner in Paul & Talley Steam Woolen Mill Factory, circa 1857 (at Boone's Lick and South Main - northeast side). The mill provided stocking yarn and 100,000 yards of blue wool suiting worn by Union Soldiers during the Civil War. John Paule served as a city council member for two terms.
