Bennedsen, Boldt, and Hansen Building

The Bennedsen, Boldt, and Hansen Building, also known as the General Store Museum, is a historic building located in Kimballton, Iowa, United States. Its significance is derived from its association with Danish immigrant craftsmen utilizing local produced materials by other Danish immigrants. The single-story brick structure was the work of Niels Bennedsen (brick mason), Hans P. Boldt (carpenter), and Hans P. Hansen (carpenter). Each owned a ⅓ interest in the property. Although all three were involved in the construction trade it is only known that Bennedsen worked on the building. It is possible that Hansen did the carpentry work and Boldt, who also owned the local lumber yard, supplied the lumber and woodwork.
