The Grey Mule Saloon, circa 1890, was one of several saloons in early Fort Stockton. Cowboys camping on the Pecos River would frequent the saloons, which were the sites of several gun fights and shootings. In 1894 Sheriff A.J. Royal was in the process of purchasing and fortifying the saloon prior to his assassination at the courthouse in November. The building has had various other uses, including, a restaurant, bookstore, and gift shop.
