Fisher's Saloon

Albert Fisher built and operated Fisher's Saloon as a bar and novelty store in the 1800's. The site was renowned for its collection of deer horns displayed on both the interior and exterior of the building. In the early 1920's, Tom Austin purchased the building. Austin remodeled the structure and renamed it the Capitol Club. John & Joe DiGrazia purchased the building in 1926 and continued to operate the saloon. During the 1970's, Sonny DiGrazia remodeled it and the neighboring Elite Club and Goble's Grocery into a wholesale liquor wharehouse.
