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 1862 and 1869 in New Coeln, which was then a hamlet of German farmers 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]

New Coeln House, still operating on the border of General Mitchell Field

The present-day street address is 5905 S. Howell Ave., on the edge of General Mitchell Field (which has swallowed most of old New Coeln); it is still operated as a tavern, under the name Landmark 1850 Inn. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.[2][3]
