The John Heck House, also known as the Hauer Residence, is a historic residence in Lockport, Illinois. ==History== John Heck was a Canadian businessman who immigrated in 1838. John Heck was brought to Lockport to oversee the building of the I & M Canal. He mostly provided construction services, ranging from excavation to masonry. Heck purchased a tract of land for $9,000 in 1866; he likely organized the construction himself. His home was constructed from locally-quarried limestone. It was constructed in the Greek Revival style, likely influenced by immigrants from New York who first came to work on the canal. The house also prominently features Italianate details, which were mostly added in a remodeling in the 1870s. Heck died in 1890 and is buried in a local cemetery in Lockport at St. Joseph Church.〔(National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: John Heck House )〕 The residence passed to his niece, Georgina Alice Heck, who may have provided live-in support to John in his later years. Georgina sold the residence only three months later. It served as a boarding house in the 1920s, and was converted to an apartment building in the 1940s. The apartment rooms were later removed, and the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 16, 1994 by Jon Rawson. Since 1994, the home was sold to a Couple who turned it into a Bed & Breakfast, "The Liberty Inn" which was sold 3 years later to the Lindemann family.〔
