NOTES
Additional Information:This frame, two-story building has a gable roof with a falsefront. The false front features a prominent cornice with paired brackets and a central gable. The pattern of the cornice is repeated on the second floor window hoods. The building has been sided both with asphalt siding and vertical siding on the storefront. Despite alterations, this building retains some interesting detail and is contributing to the district.

This building was constructed between 1894 and 1900. Until 1910, it housed a pool room on the first floor, and a barber shop on the second floor.

Known as the Sportsman's Bar in 1981.

2020: Storefront has since been altered with a large window.
