Salem Public Library

"This is a photograph of Boon's Treasury located in Salem, Oregon. The brick building in the center was originally built in 1860 as a general store by John D. Boon and used by him as the State Treasury for two years when he was first elected as the Oregon Treasurer. Later on William Lincoln Wade operated a general store in this building. To the left of this building was Harry Kelly's house and on the right the F. J. Babcock Furniture Store. The building later housed Karr's Tavern and in 1974 it became Boon's Treasury Tavern."
