Inscription.
In the 1860s, A. R. Huning's Dry Goods store occupied the street level of this shop, and Goebel's Photography occupied the second floor. Rudolph Henry Goebel, a German immigrant, photographed St. Charles and her citizens from 1856 to 1916.

In 1888, Hubert Hachting, another German immigrant, bought the building and opened a saloon. Except for the years of Prohibition when Hachting's son sold soft drinks, it has been a tavern ever since.
