"Jack" graduated from Oak Park River Forest High School

Nalbach Engineering Co.) where he invented a series of machines that would help shape the packaging industry for years to follow
After nearly 25 years in R+D, in 1994 he was promoted to President of Nalbach Engineering
He continued to grow the company which ultimately expanded to become the Nalbach Group
Along with the start-up of Container Handling Systems Corp
the group grew through the acquisition of several local contract manufacturing companies including Chicago Metal Fabricators
John was a hands-on person and would routinely roll up his sleeves and pitch-in during production operations and machine start-ups
He developed a reputation for being firm yet fair and was always returned the respect that he showed the people in his life
John is survived by his wife Susan Nalbach
his sons Alexander and Matthew and his two grandchildren

Alex Nalbach and Marc Vincent pose in front of their Victorian home
A photo of the house likely taken at the turn of the century
ALBANS CITY — The lady of the house waits for an unsuspecting victim to fall into her web
an Italian patriarch attends to his studies in his quest to conquer death
if Alex Nalbach had anything to do with it
have been transforming the old Victorian house at 73 Bank Street into a simulacrum of a Victorian haunted house
themed rooms and staging that could compete with many Hollywood productions
Nalbach said he’s always had an interest in the macabre
Nalbach and Vincent have poured days of work into completely restoring the house on Bank Street’s interior with new lighting
plumbing and wiring to be able to reproduce Nalbach’s vision for the space
He’s wanted to own an old Victorian house since he was a boy
but the realities of such a build have made it difficult to make it come to fruition
“His mantra became 'Don’t wait,’” Nalbach said
as well as curated reproductions extend throughout the building
Not everything is directly from the time period
but Nalbach has taken special care to stay true to the Victorians' themes and decorating styles
An easy way to describe the look is “busy.” Upper middle class Victorians
would often open up their homes for large events
where they could show off their wealth and status
and they often designed their homes in a “maximalist” style that would feel cluttered in today’s households
wants his arrangements to feel a little unsettling
Among the carefully-arranged clutter are subtle nods to the dark and sinister
stare long enough and guests will start to notice hints of webs
flies and spiders scattered throughout the memorabilia
Nalbach labeled the theme as “welcome to my parlor
resembles the interlacing patterns of a spider-web
He brings similar approaches to the rest of the house’s rooms
adding little callbacks and even mythological references – a very 19th century thing to do – to match each room’s theme
and he plans on adding portraits from the period throughout the front hall and foyer
Each one has been handpicked to stare back and follow people as they move through the house
Other rooms close to completion include a men’s parlor
a family chapel and multiple themed bedrooms
you have to have a nursery in your creepy Victorian house,” he said
still has plenty of room left for more themed areas
Nalbach already has plans for a room with Lord Byron-esque overtones
an upstairs laboratory and Lovecraftian observatory tucked away in the cupola
“I think there’s been a long gradual accumulation of ideas,” he said
When Nalbach first began looking for a Victorian home
When the Central Vermont Railroad moved its headquarters to St
Albans in the latter half of the 19th century
the railroad brought with it a wave of upper middle class families composed of mostly railroad managers in St
Those most successful built large homes on the slopes of the city
and residents can still find the grandiose structures lingering throughout St
usually changed or rehabilitated for modern needs
Nalbach and Vincent ended up buying John Hobart’s
Hobart got a job at age 18 in the railroad’s construction department after spending a few years learning the “mercantile arts” in Boston
then Montpelier’s station agent until he became the general freight agent for the railroad in 1859
Albans in 1861 and stayed there until his death from kidney failure in 1897
serving as director of the Welden National Bank
vice president and director of the Fletcher Granite Company
founder and director of the National Car Company
Albans Cemetery Association and a trustee of the Episocopal diocese of Vermont
would have been the ones involved in making the call on the final design of the building
which utilizes a few popular architectural features of the period
a unique slate pattern and a large accessible cupola
He died at his Bank street residence just after midnight on Oct
and Mary Jane hosted his funeral service there two days later “in keeping with what it is believed would have been his own wishes.”
purchased the building after Hobart passed away
he ended up raising his family in the house
Magiff also would have been one of the Central Vermont Railroad’s bigger names by the end of his career
A news article published in the 1920s describes a scene where Magiff – the “dean of the railroad officials” – played a prominent role in the surprise birthday party of his boss
“(Smith) was hardly seated in his chair when officials of the road began to file in from the adjoining office of the general manager,” an article from the period reads
“(Magiff) stepped forward and with a brief presentation speech put into the hands of former Gov
Magiff was something of a bridge between the Smiths in charge of the railroads
Gregory Smith – responsible for administering the major buildout of St
Albans railroad facilities in the late 19th century – worked with Magiff when J
Michael Magiff eventually died in 1935 at the age of 83
He had worked with the railroad for more than 60 years
and played an instrumental role in the construction of Bellows Free Academy
as he was the chairman of the board at the time
During the 40 or so years that Magiff owned the Bank Street house
1910s and 1920s are filled with mentions of various social functions – such as readings sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution
and a Seven Hand Euchre tournament – held at the residence
bringing in 200 people to enjoy Ryan’s Orchestra and food from Coons
She was married at the house in 1907 during a grand ceremony to William McLeod
“After the assembling of the company at 8 o’clock
an orchestra which was stationed in the upper hall played the “Bridal Chorus” from Lohengrin (known in the 2020s as ‘Here Comes the Bride’) as the bride and groom came down the stairs and proceed to the parlor where the ceremony took place as they stood under a bower of Southern smilax banked with palms,” the Messenger’s society pages read
and they raised a family there over the last few decades
starting a conversation with Melinda McLeod
who was one of children who grew up at 73 Bank Street
he said they began to see some interesting commonalities between what had come before and Nalbach’s vision for the place
without having seen any of these historical photos in advance
we had been inadvertently replacing a great many of the things that had originally been in the house
often in exactly the same spot!” he said via email
It seems that in his hunt for historical accurate pieces
Melinda sent photos she had from her time growing up in the house
showing historical evidence of an old grandfather clock
bed frame and lion-footed oval mirror that had modern doppelgangers in Nalbach’s version of the house
The picture of Frances Eliza taken on her wedding day even matched an old cake topper purchased by Nalbach
Nalbach still has work to do to finish his project
and he expects the final version will likely be an embellished version of the Victorian era
he’s replicated some of the same look and feel
“It’s finding ways to make people uncomfortable and also very in line with the Victorians' obsession with death,” he said
Nalbach is playing around with different ideas to use what he calls “The Highbank Hall.” Due to the unique staging he’s implemented
he’s considering making the house available for private social functions
although exact plans are still up in the air
he’ll keep finding different ways to add his own touch to the house’s long history as one of St
“My whole life I've wanted a house like this,” he said

Pam Nalbach's cellphone rings with an order from a customer
and he wants the most popular offering at Rittberger's Good Food Truck menu
it only takes Nalbach a few minutes to cook a flat-iron steak sandwich
butters up a soft roll and places it on the grill
She then throws on some Rittberger steak and caramelized onions
she adds them and a slice of provolone cheese to the sandwich just in time for the hungry customer to arrive
"It's very popular," she said of the sandwich
"When people come up to the truck and they haven't been here before and they say: 'What's good?' We say: 'Flat-iron steak sandwich.' "
"They eat it and they come back and they get it again."
Nalbach has been the chef at the food truck since Andy Rittberger
The truck mainly sits parked outside the North Market on Maple Avenue
but Nalbach takes it to the farm on Lutz Avenue on weekends if she's scheduled to cater a wedding
local ingredients and "seasoned perfectly."
"I try to use everything local," Nalbach said
There are just a few constants on Nalbach's menu in addition to the sandwich
farm eggs that are local right out of Dresden," Nalback said
"You're getting a local delicious breakfast sandwich."
the menu shifts "depending on what I feel like cooking and what's inspiring me and what people want," Nalbach said
she featured a grilled pink shrimp salad and a crab salad melt
Her menu for each week is posted on Rittberger's Facebook page every Monday
