In 1889 George Higgins was running a "liquor saloon" at 14 Hamilton Ave.
In 1897 there was a pool room at 14 Hamilton Ave. At that time the
building was described as a
two story frame. George Higgins had a saloon on the first floor in 1897.
In 1899 Higgins still was still running a saloon at 14 Hamilton that contained a pool room "over" the saloon.
Gambling was a part of the pool hall activity at Higgins.
In 1897 the pool room on the second floor was not open to the general public. One had to be in the known and
be
known. In fact, pool was not taking place as much as off track horse race betting. It was said that the saloon
had
always had a good reputation and a local police captain expressed surprise that illegal activities were going on
because "the upper part of the building, which is only one story high above the store, was occupied by United States weighers in the employ of the government
for which the Federal
authorities pay rent."
