In the early 1900s this towering townhouse was the home of restauranteur / hotel keeper Charles Evans Hoster and wife Sadie (Strohm) Hoster.
Mr. Hoster operated some of the city’s most popular restaurants and bars, including the Conestoga Inn at Bridgeport, the Central Market Hotel Café, and the café at Rieker’s Brewery.
The house was built ca. 1880 in the Queen Anne style, with a corner turret, wraparound porch, and multi-pane window sash.
