Later HUEHN entered the real estate and insurance business and for a time did considerable building in Hammond. A democrat, he served as city treasurer for one term. He erected a frame building at Logan street and Hohman avenue which was used as a large dance hall. The brick structure, known as the HUEHN block was erected on the site where the dance hall once stood.
