Stagecoach Inn at 160 facelift revives historic hub
The Stagecoach Inn at 20 W. Michigan Avenue, known as the Coach, marks a 160 year milestone. Originating as the Central Railroad Eating House in 1851, the building has served as hotel and restaurant through many changes, including a 1940s–50s era under Sue Schnaitman’s relatives, with Schnaitman owning the Coach for six years.
