#11 Revision
My Great Grandfather lived across the street where this photo was taken. My Friend Phil Hawkins lived in that old house My Great Grandfather Built. It was right next to he Valley Of the Moon Saloon to the left..The Building in the back is original and was called "The Tabernacale" where bootleg booze was made and sold in the late 20's early 30's. When they tore the building down, we found My Great Grandfather's old beer bottles under the floor boards from when he built the place on the hot summer days of the teens!! Jeff Gilbert via Facebook.
