As the Wisconsin House
As the Hotel Lenz
As the Schumacher Hotel
We first looked at photos of the Third and Racine area on the blog back in May 2012. But these photographs chart the course of the hotel at that intersection for well over 100 years. The hotel pictured had many incarnations.
Starting business as the Wisconsin House in 1871 by John Lenz, Jr., this facility had a beer garden in the spring and summer and catered to a German clientele. The sign on the pole in front of the corner entrance announces that this is a German Guesthouse (Deutsches Gasthaus). On the streetcar line and close to the Soo Line depot, this lodging enjoyed transportation access that others did not. You can see the streetcar tracks that came up Third Street and turned down Racine Street on the way to downtown in the second photo.
The building was demolished in 1978. By then, it was known as the Schumacher Hotel, or as Julie's Tap. The lot became a Hardee's and today is a McDonald's.
