These historical facts are from the files of Joe Davich who has done much in the research of Main Street businesses far back into the very beginning of Park City.

Joe is reluctant to give out history as it is private until published and I am glad to have had his help in compiling compil-ing the history of this building. build-ing. There are so many stories known but never written and it is through the efforts of people like Joe who take the time and interest to dig them out and get them on paper. Joe has put a lot of time into this research. The city is going to clear the debris and rubble from the site, and the owner Sid H. Ellison ofSalt Lake City-has City-has agreed to pay the cost. Bea Kummer. Mr. Daniel H. Haran was born Marcli 1876, in Ireland. Mr. Patrick Hennan was born in County Down, Ireland, September 14, 1862. Two fine young men who came to this country at an early age, and in 1903 Dan and Pat formed a partnership and operated a saloon which was known as the "Corner Saloon". This building was located at 401 Main Street in the area where the Hurlburt Drugstore Drug-store was. They were in business together to-gether until the year 1901 when Heenan went into the coal business plus a wholesale whole-sale agent for the Fisher Brewing Co. of Salt Lake City. The Haran building was located at 340 Main Street one door south of what was known tor many years as Earl's Market, just recently Dav's Market. This building was built about 1902 by the Fisher Brewing Co. Dan Haran operated a saloon in this building moving mov-ing here immediately after leaving the partnership with Mr. Heenan and started as early as the year 1910. Dan operated the "Center' Saloon" from 1910 until the coming of the prohibition era, that being August 1, 1917. After this period his place of business was changed to a billiard hall, sometimes known as pocket billiard, later on a soft drink parlor and also men's furnishings. The telephone directory listed his number as 183-red 183-red for 1913 through 1916. In 1917 it was changed to 99 J and remained as such until the year 1930. Mr. Haran was called to his eternal reward February 9, 1930. He had been a resident res-ident of Park City some 29 years and a very highly respected res-pected businessman, family man and a fine citizen of the community.
