History
editThe building was probably built for Henry and John Schroeder for their meat market.[2] Another building that housed a cigar factory and residence occupied this property previously. Since at least the latter part of the 20th-century, the building has housed a tavern in the commercial space.
Architecture
editThe building is a two-story brick structure that sits at the corner of West Third and North Pine Streets. The entrance into the first-floor commercial space faces the corner. Above the entrance is a pressed-metal oriel window, which gives the building a sense of prominence.[3] Another oriel window is located further back along North Pine Street. The second floor also features rectangular windows with hoods above them. The building has a cornice across the top.
