Day 269 - The Butztown Hotel

Today I had to head down to the bodyshop to get the car scheduled for some finishing touches that need to be done from the repair they did in July.  On my way home, I decided to stop and take a image of the Keystone Pub.

The history of the Pub was that it was built in 1806 by George Butz, the son of German Immigrants, he built the his home in 1795 where he started his life with his wife Catharine as a owner of a Grist Mill, store owner, tavern Owner and farmer.  He eventually went bankrupt and moved his family to Philadelphia in 1825.   Some say that the building started out as a Grist Mill, then converted to a hotel/pub after George left the area, renting room till 1990's when the hotel was bought and converted to the Keystone Pub.

The building became the center of the Butztown community, where they had poker nights, a brothel, and became very popular for the bikers.  It is even said that there is paranormal activity happening at the Pub.  So if you are in the area over Halloween stop by for a pint or 2.  You never know who my sit next to you for a conversation.
