This building was a tavern or restaurant for over 100 years. In the mid 1990s it still had the original pressed tin ceiling. For the first eleven years from 1897 to 1908 it was the Horvath Cafe. For the next 56 years it was known as Jerman's Tavern. Sometime after that it became "The Keg" or "The Olde Keg" a pub and pizza place.

The building was still signed as The Olde Keg in 2016, but some of the windows were boarded up, so it appeared to be closed. There was/is an apartment on the second floor.
