About The Southside Hotel
When prohibition ended in December of 1933, the bar as you see it now was installed , the dividing wall was put up and the first legal drink was served by a gentleman named Carl Wolff.
Carl and Artie Schiller Sr. brought the bar and the back bar out in the back of a truck from a lumberyard in Brooklyn that did this type of woodwork. Mr. Wolff worked here from the early 1930's until he passed away in his room upstairs in 1964.
The Hughes family sold the business to Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Melton in 1944. The Melton's were here until 1950 at which time they moved to "Melton's Swizzle Inn" on Sunrise Highway at Manatuck Boulevard. The Hughes family ran the business again for a year and a half. until selling the property and business to John Wichert, a local businessman.
In 1962, due to John's failing health, the Wichert family sold to Artie Schiller who had been tending bar at the Southside Hotel. Artie was the owner for 38 years until retiring in 200, during which time the place attained the unofficial title of "Schiller's." Ned and Loretta Baker are now the owners of the Southside.
