c.1870

In the early 1850's this was the site of Winterset's first hotel. Berger's Hotel was a story-and-a-half log cabin that soon became a stagecoach stop.

Later known as the Bare Block, this building has had many businesses: several grocery stores, a cigar factory, sign painting, a barber shop, a tailor shop, a shoe shine shop, boots and shoes, and restaurants. J.O. Bare's was a favorite place for children to buy candy in the early 1900's.

Winterset's first gasoline pump was inside two small wooden doors on the south side of this building. The gas was pumped from the large tank into a five gallon can, taken to the curb, and poured into the cars.
