The Friends of Historic Flemington believe the demolition of the Union Hotel and three adjacent buildings in the heart of the county seat’s historic district is unnecessary. We advocate for the adaptive reuse of Flemington’s significant historic buildings, including the Union Hotel, as critical components of a thoughtfully designed and properly scaled downtown development.
