New Investors Plan To Reopen the Ladder House in Sturgeon Bay

Sturgeon Bay’s former Ladder House bar and restaurant, located in the historic fire station building on South Third Avenue gets a new lease on life.

The Sturgeon Bay City Council approved a $200,000 loan that will permit a local management team comprised of Ken Glasheen, Paul Salm and Steve Sauter to buy the property.

Under terms of the loan, the group must add $50,000 in equity and obtain additional private financing. So far, no additional plans or a projected re-opening date have been announced.
