This building was the site of Lantin's Men's Clothing Store in the early 20th century. It has been refurbished and the investor had the advertisement on the side of the building restored as well.

Upstairs are three apartments which once served as prostitutes' cribs.

Before then, when the streets were not yet paved and there were still hitching posts for the horses, this was The Champion Billiard Hall, William T. McNelly and Felix B. Knox proprietors. Bailey Street was still Push Street and Broad Street was sometimes still called Main.

Both McNelly and Knox had served in the frontier Army. After his service, McNelly moved to Globe and became lifelong friends with Chief of Scouts Al Sieber. Sieber would later say that if he'd had his choice he would spend his entire day in McNelly's establishment.

In 1876 Globe's first Christmas celebration was held in this building. The Saloon was festively decorated for the occasion, complete with a Christmas tree. Women and children were welcomed as well.

On April 30, 1882, Felix Knox was traveling with his family from Silver City, New Mexico, to his home in Globe when the party was attacked by hostile Apaches. Knox attempted to hold off the attack long enough for the rest of his family to escape. His delaying tactic bought the others enough time to reach safety but cost Knox his life.

William McNelly lived until 1938 when he was 88 years of age. He is buried in the Globe Cemetery.
