The story
The first Washington House was a frame hotel built in 1846 by Conrad Horneffer, where Cedarburg’s first doctor kept his office. Fred Jaucke acquired it about 30 years later, added the three-story northern half of the present building in 1886 and encased it in Cream City brick. The restored hotel stands on Washington Avenue in Cedarburg’s National Register historic district and runs as a 29-room inn with a five-room guest house nearby.
