Description

Black and white image of a saloon with two gentlemen standing in front on the porch. The addition to the building features a window with stained glass around the edges, and advertisements for Mt. Hood Beer adorn the walls. Another sign promoting Red Top Rye hangs above the double door entrance. 'Saloon' is painted in white letters on the roof of the building. Augustus Rossi is listed as a Saloon Keeper in the 1900 Federal census of Washington County.
