John and Bill, If you can be patient with me, I'll dig up my notes. I was surprised to find out that my great grandfather's bar and house was owned by the Driscoll brothers who were his business partners. They originally owned a grocery store and Phil J. Harrington set up a subscription service where he would go around on a horse and prearrange orders so that they were ready when the people came. Then they opened a bar which was on the corner of Main and Quartz (if my memory is on task). There's a lot of stories from the newspapers about the happenings at the bar. My mother isn't well, so it takes me a bit more to get around to things this days. I should be able to find the first names of the Driscoll brothers and see if it's your Driscoll or not.
