Constructed in the late 1878s, by the early argonaut, J.F. Bovee, to house a clothing store and tavern. In 1928 David H. Casey, the 1918 Marine Corps Light Weight Boxing Champion, acquired the building. He ran a meat market with a "speak easy" in the basement. With the end of Prohibition came the name "Casey's Place" and the slogan "Beer, Booze, and Bull." After Casey's death in 1974, his family ran the business until January 1978. The present owners, Mel and Becky Wilkerson, acquired Casey's Place in 1982.
