Connors & Stone Crystal Palace
Title
Connors & Stone Crystal Palace
Description
208-210 Main Street
The Crystal Palace opened soon after the 1892 fire on Main Street. Due to ill health, H. J. Herdklotz sold the business (not the building) to Connors & Stone in 1901. In the 1914 City Directory, it is listed as the J. F. Connors Saloon.
The men in the photo are not identified, but it's a sure bet that one is Connors and one is Stone. Wines, Liquors, and Cigars are advertised as well as Jung Milwaukee Beer. Phillipp Jung bought out his partners in 1896 to create Jung Brewing Company which lasted until Prohibition.
Note the Family Entrance door.
The flags and bunting decorating the building differ from the the decorations in the July 4, 1910 Persson photos.
The alley separates this building that fronted on Cass Street from the second Waverly Hotel.
