Bauer Meat & Fish Market

This wonderful photo first appeared in the Gazette around 1900.  Bauers Market was located on the corner of Capitol St & Virginia St for many years, closing in 1929.   Let's take a look at what's for sale:  There are two 8 point Bucks, plus a third smaller deer.  Hanging up are chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, Pheasant Grouse and Quail.  There were no wild game laws in those days, (and apparently no refrigeration needed.)

After Bauer went out of business,  a fruit stand opened...

This is the location today
