Central House Hotel, Italianate hotel in Boscobel, United States.
The Central House Hotel stands three stories tall with decorative brackets and tall windows representing the 1865 Italianate architectural style in Wisconsin.
Adam Bobel, a Prussian immigrant who served in the 20th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment, constructed the hotel and rebuilt it after a fire in 1881.
In 1898, two traveling salesmen at the hotel initiated conversations that led to establishing Gideons International, which distributes Bibles to hotels worldwide.
Located at 1005 Wisconsin Avenue, the hotel maintains its historical features while continuing to serve guests in the Boscobel community.
The hotel earned recognition in both the National Register of Historic Places and Wisconsin State Register for its architectural and historical contributions.
