The building was constructed in the 1800s, but it was not notable until it was converted into a tavern by James Curtis Riley in 1933. Located near a railroad stop on the Missouri-Pacific Railway line, and near the border of a dry county, it did well. It was the first tavern in Texas to get a license after Prohibition was lifted in 1933. [3]
