History
This two story building on the corner of Main and Locust housed Louis Tunze Pool, Billiards and Saloon and also served as Gus Tunze's residence. Gus Tunze was a town trustee from 1903 to 1904. Built by the Tunze brothers in the early 1800s, it operated as a saloon or tavern, including Greenfield's restaurant, until 2006. It contained the oldest one piece walnut bar in the county, which has been restored for another use and remains inside the building today.
