Nester House, also known as the Family Grocerie, Union Hotel, and Riverplace, is a historic hotel located at Troy, Perry County, Indiana. It was built about 1863, and is a 2+1⁄2-story, sandstone block building, with a late 1870s or mid 1880s rear addition. It features a two tiered, full facade porch.
