E. Olsen" Once located at 121 W. Railroad Avenue, this two-story structure, with a basement, was built shortly after Bartlett's 1873 establishment. Many businesses called it home from general stores such as Dunbar Brothers, August C. Schick and Louis Stump to tavern/restaurants such as Hugo's, The Eck and Lucky Jack's. The second floor and later basement was the first location of Banbury Fair. The basement was also the location of Emma O'Brien's General Store, Baxmann's General Store, Poor Richard's Print Shop, Sunshine's Victorian Gifts and others. The building was razed in 2018. This is an undated painting of the building as Hugo's Tavern, under the proprietorship of Hugo Rudlinger from 1933 until his death in 1939. The artist was D. E. Olsen. The museum has no information on the artist. Notice the Bartlett Tavern on the left and the old razed water tower in the background. The painting was received with the two tears in the canvas. |
