Union House Tavern/Schulkamp's Corner Saloon

2601 & 2609 E Washington Ave

A Union House Tavern has been located at this site for so long it's said it got it's name because Union soldiers used to stop here during the Civil War.

"During the American Civil War, Madison served as a center of the Union Army in Wisconsin. The intersection of Milwaukee, East Washington, Winnebego, and North Streets are known as Union Corners, as a tavern located there was the last stop for Union soldiers before heading to fight the Conferderates."

Union Bar and Street. The Union House on East Washington Avenue? The bar and back bar have been there since the Civil War (and are the oldest in Dane County), and the original building (demolished and rebuilt in 1954) was a pay station for Union soldiers training at Camp Randall. The room upstairs was a brothel.
