Regarding The Baca Saloon & Confectionary. The Baca Saloon & Confectionary occupied two buildings on the square, both over 100 years old. The building closest to ARTS was once a grocery store and an antique store. The second, larger building on the left, was once the old Rudolph Baca Ice Cream Parlor, shared by Rudolph Baca, Emil Zapalac and Dr. Schramm. It has an ornamental bar with stained glass. For many decades, the Baca family had a band and performed regularly there. Baca made delicious ice cream and custard, and it is said that some of his recipes may now be used by a popular ice cream company. The building is now Joe’s Place Restaurant.
