Additional Comments
This two story Queen Anne styled building features a rectangular shaped plan configuration, a brick exterior, a metal trim and a flat roof. Corbelling and a dentil trim distinguish the cornice line. A hip roofed three sided bay and a sash window with a stone lintel are visible on the second story. The structure, which is in good condition, was owned by Robert F. Berg in 1982. The Bear Trap Saloon occupied the space at that time.
