Between 1872 and 1885, the building housed a boarding house, a feed store, and a blacksmith shop,[3] and the nine apartments above the bar were once used as a brothel.[3]

The bar retains its original wooden bar and back bar, and the first cash register to be installed is still on display.[3] Wyatt Earp was once a regular at the bar.[3]
