Racine House 1837-1866

From the Racine Advocate, April 5, 1843: Racine House, Racine, Wisconsin, is now open for all who may see fit to give us a call. It being situation in the most pleasant part of the tow, and with strict attention, we flatter ourselves that general satisfaction will be given. Stages leave this House for the north, south, and west. Boats and Lighters always in readiness to convey passengers to and from steamboats and vessels, free of charge. Conveyance can be had to any part of the Territory. Killip & Dutton. J. M. Killip, A. P. Dutton, Racine, April 4, 1843. [The Racine House was on Monument Square, where the Zahn's building was more recently.]

Colonel William Utley operated the Racine House hotel before the Civil War.
Gerald Karwowski: Another very great piece of Racine history we found while deep digging in boxes that were packed about 30 years ago. This rare dinner ticket is signed by Colonel William Utley who operated the hotel before the Civil War. The Racine House burned down in 1866. It may be one of the only artifacts that survived from Racine's first hotel.
