Hotel Raulf, Portage, Wisconsin (Postcard Series)

From "Historic Portage WI Downtown & Riverfront Walking Tour"

The Raulf Realty Company of Milwaukee constructed the hotel that currently stands here in 1928. The Raulf Hotel contained spaces for eight businesses and offices on the first floor; banquet and meeting rooms, a dining room and tavern on the second floor, a bowling alley in the basement; and 100 hotel rooms and seven apartments on the upper floors. One of many which have stood in Portage, this hotel accommodated the many travelers who came to this busy commercial center. Built in a simple style, the five story red brick building dominates the streetscape.
