912 Washington St.
Photo of Washington St. looking west from the 800 block toward the 900 block. Ed Weinschenk would have been the proprietor of the tavern located at 912 Washington in the present location of the Washington St. Antique Mall (910 Washington). This property would have housed two businesses at 912/910. 910 was the location of a barbershop operated by the nephew of Ed. In the 900 block there is a long white banner on the right side of the street which is displayed in front of the tavern for some type of celebration happening. Photo circa 1896 and provided courtesy of Joe Breeze at Marin Museum of Bicycling at mmbhof.org.
