My Grandfather, father's side, owned or ran a saloon on the east side of Cicero before prohibition. I have the address and Google Maps, Street-view, shows the building still there though derelict. Are there any records pertaining to saloons? Liquor licenses? Tax records? Could they be a source of information? TIA cvt Charles "Chuck" Tintera

Illinois Regional Archives Depository aka IRAD here in Chicago has some Cook County Liquor License and Business License records for the late 1800's - sorry I can't recall the year (s).  It might be worth your while to call them...........   Illinois Regional Archives Depository Ronald Williams Library Northeastern Illinois University 5500 N.

IRAD at NEIU has some liquor license records but, if I remember correctly, the date span given in the holdings catalog is broad and the actual records aren't as extensive as they would seem from that. My recollection is that there wasn't much information given--maybe names, addresses, date, and amount paid--but a quick call to IRAD would probably get you a more definitive answer. Hopefully someone with better information will weigh in! Cynthia charles tintera wrote: > My Grandfather, father's side, owned or ran a saloon on the east side of > Cicero before prohibition.

I tried getting a copy of a liquor license through IRAD at NEIU. I waited 6 weeks and the man, though nice, said he never found anything but he didn't look through them all.
