Scope and content
ca. 1910. Peter Leonard and Francis J. O'Leary were the proprietors of the Red Front Saloon located at 5244 South Tacoma Way on the west side of the 5200 block. It is believed the men are standing at the entrance to the bar in this circa 1910 photograph. The other five men may have been customers or saloon employees. Even a curious dog has managed to turn his head to face the camera. The Red Front offered its customers pool and billiards as well as a wide array of wines, liquors and cigars. Furnished rooms and lodgings were available upstairs .
