Originally this was the Cabinet Saloon Building built in 1893 by C.E. Boyce. Many of their customers came from the train depot. It is one of the oldest buildings in Williams and was built out of locally quarried Dacite rock. The building was home to "The Corner Bar" for some years in the latter half of the last century and was Pancho Mcgillicuddy's Mexican Restaurant when we snapped this photo in 2013. In 2021 it is the Historic Barrel & Bottle House.

There is a historical Marker palque on the building that reads as follows:

Has been placed on the National Register
of Historic Places by the United States
Department of the Interior

The Cabinet Saloon was a boisterous spot along "Saloon Row." Here railroaders, cowboys, loggers, and rowdy local residents came to spend their paychecks in saloons, gambling houses, opium dens, and houses of ill repute. In the last 100 years, various owners altered much of the Cabinet Saloon's unique character. In 1993, the building underwent a major renovation, earning it the 1994 Arizona Main Street Historic Design Award.
