September 2, 1912 – The Iowa City Daily Press announces the passing of long-time resident and businessman – John Greulich.
Iowa City pioneer John Greulich – who arrived here as a nine-year boy with his family in 1850 – had eighteen years in the Iowa City hotel business. In the early 1890’s, Greulich opened Farmer’s Home (Hotel) on Iowa Avenue – just west of Close Hall. In 1900, he transitioned to a new Globe Hotel – which took its name from the original Globe that stood on West Washington Street in the 1840’s before changing its name to The City Hotel.
