#23 - The American Hotel

 

On this site was first a blacksmith shop owned and operated by George Greenzweig.  Edwin & Eugene Greenzweig also worked at the shop.

​

Around 1903, the Kunkletown Hotel, operated by Reuben Frable and his family, was located here.  

 

Then, it became the Greenzweig Hotel and then the American Hotel & Bar.  In 2004, the bar was still open, but the hotel portion stopped functioning.

​

When the hotel closed in 2011, a mother and daughter team bought it and opened it as a restaurant called the Jupiter Restaurant.  They primarily served Polish food, but only lasted a few years.

​

In 2013, the Kunkletown Pub at Buckwha Inne was opened by Gretchen Gannon Pettit.

 

The current building dates back to 1938.
