Sylvanus Wade House
The Sylvanus Wade House is a former stagecoach inn located in Greenbush, Wisconsin, United States. It provided lodging and meals to travelers in the early statehood era in Wisconsin.
==Early years==
In 1844, Sylvanus Wade moved his family to the Greenbush area, where he purchased several hundred acres of land with the intent of building a town. The first dwelling they built was a log home that was repeatedly enlarged as the family grew and the number of visitors increased.
A three-story wooden Greek Revival house was built between 1848 and 1851. It quickly gained attention for its large size and stylish appearance. Wade began advertising his "Half Way House" in Sheboygan in 1849. This, coupled with the inn's location halfway between the larger cities of Fond du Lac and Sheboygan, Wisconsin on the Fond du Lac-Sheboygan Plank Road, made it a popular stopover for travelers during the 1850s and 1860s. However, when travel by horse and stagecoach became obsolete and the railroad between Sheboygan and Fond du Lac went through Glenbeulah to the north, the house's full time use as an inn was discontinued. Ironically, a railroad directors election meeting was held at the house in 1854.
