Kronser, Joseph, Hotel and Saloon - Greenville, WI, USA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The first building, built in 1887, was called the Joseph Kronser Hotel and Saloon but it was destroyed by fire. After the fire, Joseph Kronser rebuilt the hotel in 1897 and ran it as a railroad hotel with 5 bedrooms and also used as the railroad ticket office. The Kronser Hotel and Saloon was a large two story building and was the center of the town’s social events. The hotel has had numerous owners such as Schreiters, Pegal, Probst, Geo Reimer, Len Ruesh and Tennies. It was run as a hotel, with several different owners until 1934. In 1934 Henry Probst, had an auto dealership for Oldsmobile, Chevrolet, and Studebaker. Vic and Harold Tennie became the owner’s in1945. Vic and Norma Tennie bought Harold’s share in 1955. Kevin and Tina O’Shea bought the building in 1988. The building has always been a meeting place for the community and also has housed a barber shop run by Orv Polzin, a bus station, and a funeral parlor, and a fire dispatch station run by the tennis. Chicken dinners and hamburgers were served for many years and various road crews always ate at the station.

The O’Sheas have restored the building, from old photos and residents memories, to look as it did in 1897. The original wood took endless hours to strip and restore. The Greenville station is on the National Historic Register due to the efforts of JoAnn Babic."
