A 3-STORY HOOSIER CABINET IN INDIANA CELEBRATES AN AMERICAN KITCHEN ICON

A 30‑foot replica of a historic Hoosier cabinet was unveiled in Nappanee, Indiana, on August 6, 2026, as part of the 150th‑anniversary celebrations of Coppes Napanee. The climbable structure, built against a brick backdrop, now sits on Coppes Commons, the former factory site turned marketplace and museum.

According to the Associated Press, the model—dubbed the world’s largest Hoosier cabinet—features stairs leading to a loft that offers visitors a view of the surrounding area. Owner and president Wesley Mast walked past the replica during a photo session, emphasizing the company’s role as one of only two surviving manufacturers of the all‑in‑one kitchen furniture that once dominated early‑20th‑century American homes.

Hoosier cabinets were once the standard kitchen in many U.S. households; they are now largely forgotten. Coppes Napanee’s display celebrates the enduring cultural memory of this iconic piece of domestic design.
