Hi all, Just joined the forum, i`m in Ireland and doing research on a g g g uncle who left Belfast for your shores on a `famine boat` in 1850, he became one of the pacific slopes old pioneers, first a miner, then a liquor dealer and finally Real Estate in and around San Francisco. I have found old newspaper digital records of him owning several bars in Prescott and Tombstone, one of note was The BirdCage (time of the Earp brothers Holliday etc).
So taking you back a few years to the 1899 photos posted here of 228 S Spring St, L.A. he (Hugh McCrum) owned The Exchange Bar at that same address. I wonder are those photos cropped? To the right i can make out what maybe is "Heritage Old ?? Whiskey" which maybe is the entrance to The Exchange?
Would there be somewhere online that has a photograph of that part of the street?
Thanks for any help.
Roy
