Laundry Mat, Dance Hall, Saloon

This building was originally a saloon, one time raided by the WCTU, (Women's Christian Temperance Union) who wielded axes and did their part to close the business for good.

The first photo is of a closer view of the saloon, in the background you can see the Methodist Church. Obviously, some of the church ladies were not happy about the proximity of the church to this drinking establishment.

The second photo is a street view of Ferguson St. or U.S. 31.

The building eventually was used as a dance hall, a garage and finally a laundry mat.
