40  R. J.'s Tavern and Loft
2079 North Division Street

This brick structure was built to be the Farmer's and Merchant's Bank in 1912 by Dr. O'Leary, B.F. Schwartz, Jim Jude, John Crosswaite, and Jim Brooks. The bank went broke and was liquidated in 1932, a victim of The Great Depression. It then became a tavern, operated by Hap and Cec Spiegelhoff, who lived upstairs. Cec Spiegelhoff later ran it alone. D. Roach had his offices upstairs and at one time there was a shooting gallery and a slaughter house in the basement. Now Ron Robran, the current owner, rents out the hall.
