Otto's Place

stablished in 2011.

The story behind Otto's Place After doing research on the building we discovered that it was built in 1899 by a man named Otto Sallman. His intent was to have a restaurant. An article we found from the Galena Daily Gazette dated October 20, 1899 states, "Otto Sallman's Restaurant Handsomely Equipped" "The lower floor is divided up into a sample room, buffet, ladies' waiting room and a restaurant with a kitchen attached from which will be served lunches and meals at all hours." Due to financial difficulties, sadly, Otto was never able to open his much acclaimed establishment. Suddenly it hit us, 'what about calling it Otto's Place'? So now the building has become the restaurant it was meant to be.
