Additional Comments
2 1/2 stories, commercial building sheathed with vinyl siding. Wooden deck addition for outdoor seating spans the facade (east) and north elevation. Windows have largely been replaced with single or one-over-one double-hung sash examples. A hipped roofline on the east facade is accented by a shed-roofed dormer and a small gabled peak. Two signs applied to the facade at the northeast corner read "Senor Luna" Toney And Ben Elger built this building in 1914. A grocery store and saloon operated on the first level, and the second level served as a dance hall. The property was owned by the Elger family until the 1940s when it was sold to Bob Hartmann. As of 2005 a restaurant , Senor Luna, operates on the first level. 2025: Resurveyed, appearance unchanged.
