The Union Hotel 〔(Archive of official site )〕 is a historic landmark located on Main Street in Flemington, New Jersey. ==History== First constructed by Neal Hart in 1814, it served as a gathering place for well-to-do stagecoach passengers and socialites throughout the 19th Century, as well as many local characters and tourists visiting the area. The exterior of the present building dates to 1878. It gained national notoriety in the early months of 1935 when the trial of Bruno Hauptmann was conducted directly across the street at the Hunterdon County Courthouse and members of the national media covering the trial all stayed at the hotel. Decades later the property was purchased by new owners, renovated, restored, and converted into what is now officially known as the Union Hotel Restaurant. The second and third floors (which once housed hotel patrons) were left empty and unoccupied, adding to the growing mythos surrounding the widely-recognized Hunterdon County icon. Murals created by Carl Ritz with the assistance of Kurt Wiese adorn the hotel. 〔http://www.nj.com/hunterdon-county-democrat/index.ssf/2013/01/historical_society_will_preser.html#incart_river_default〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Union Hotel (Flemington, New Jersey)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
