Andrew Moholt came to Eau Claire in 1881, acquired land and esablished a large apple orchard.
2016- "This Craftsman Bungalow which was consturcted by Andrew and Anna Moholt is similar to several bungalows found in the Eastside Hill Neighborhood. Bungalows became very popular in the 1930s and were most commonly consturcted by middle class people with a preference towards convenience and simplicity.
Andrew Moholt immigrated to Eau Claire from Norway in 1881 and worked alternatively in construction in the summer, and during winters as a cook in logging camps. Shortly after his marriage in 1886 to Anna Arntson, also an immigrant from Norway, he began raising fruits and vegetables. As his business grew, he bacame known as the "apple king" of the mid-northwest, with the largest orchard in the state, employing at times as many as one hundred workers."
