New Coeln House
The New Coeln House, also known as Deuster's Saloon and by other names, is a two-story brick Italianate-styled village inn, built between 1840 and 1850 in New Coeln, Wisconsin, which has since been annexed into Milwaukee. New Coeln was then a hamlet of German farmers, who mostly immigrated from the Rhineland. It probably initially had a tavern and living quarters downstairs and sleeping rooms upstairs. The first building, from the 1840s, functioned as a weigh station and inn for farmers traveling between Racine and Milwaukee counties.[1]
The present-day street address is 5905 S. Howell Ave.,
General Mitchell International Airport (much of which was built on the former New Coeln townsite). It is Milwaukee's oldest tavern.[2] still Since its purchase in 1983, it has operated under the name Landmark 1850 Inn. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.[3][4]
