Alwin Clemens Carus
November 20, 1901-November 9, 2004
Alwin was the last family member to reside in the Hegeler Carus Mansion.
Alwin lived in the Mansion when the Hegeler Carus Foundation to preserve the house was formed. He was a tremendous resource to the Foundation. He had an excellent memory and told us many stories of the house and of his family. He would often come downstairs and talk to guests who were touring his home and is fondly remembered by all who knew him.
