Jacob Weinhard came to Dayton in 1880 after an apprenticeship with his uncle, Henry Weinhard at the Weinhard Brewery in Portland. Establishing the Jacob Weinhard Brewery in Dayton, he bought a partnership in a small existing brewery. By 1883, he was sole owner and began building his local empire. During the next decade he expanded the existing brewery and built a malt house with an outdoor German beer garden for the summer.
In 1890, he constructed the Weinhard Hotel building to house the Weinhard Lodge Hall & Saloon. When the saloon opened, the newspaper called it "perhaps the finest in the State of Washington, and we doubt if there is anything of the kind to surpass it on the Pacific Coast". The interior was covered with murals of scenes depicting the Northwest. In 1904, Jacob built an Opera House on Main Street in Dayton which operated as the Weinhard Theater until 1916 when it burned.
In 1907, he built a large Victorian house overlooking Dayton which he called "Hohenstaufen". This home has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

We were met my the owner and given the run of the place to look at rooms.
Each room was different and well appointed.
We loved our stay.
The beds and sheets are the best I've slept in.
The shower head is amazing.
Gary and Shellie (the owners) are incredibly friendly and can answer any questions you have.
