The Union Hotel & Restaurant, located in De Pere, Wisconsin, holds a rich history. Beginning as the Union House, it was a small inn built in the 1860s and named as a nod to the Civil War's victorious northern army.
The current Union Hotel building dates back to the late 1800s when De Pere was a burgeoning town along the Fox River. It was a 2-story structure with "fire-proof" features including an exterior featuring Cream City Brick, a thick fire wall, and a steam heat system still in use today. It had a first floor restaurant, with the original bar where the front lobby is today, and the dining room in its current location. The 2nd floor had 11 guest rooms, a sitting room, a parlor, and a lobby. In 1903 a 3rd floor was added. In 1918, the hotel was sold to our great grandparents - August & Antonia Maternowski. With the help of their 12 children, this family business continues to this day.
