Description
Built by Colonel Keefer, later owned by Leonidas Barnes. The bottom floor had two store fronts, which later became Baxter's Pool Hall. The second story served as a town hall, where the first City Council (then called the Board of Trustees) met, non-demonination church services were held and School was conducted. Perhaps where the first ordinance was passed by the newly consituted City government to prohibit saloons and tippling houses. It was the building where Charlie Davis, Editor of the Monrovia Daily News Post had his first legal beer after the repeal of Prohibition.
