History

the second recognizable survivor from the independence era is this plain, gable fronted building which was erected in 1883 for PHilip Mundo. Originally, it served a combination of purposes: as a wine and beer saloon, a boarding house and as a personal residence for the six-member Mundo family. Mundo ran his saloon until about 1892 when he began leasing out the premises. During the early 1900s there was a succession of proprietors selling spirits or, during Prohibition, soft drinks and ice cream. Since 1935, the building has acquired the status as a West Franklin St fixture under the name of Hagedorn's

In July 2019 the old saloon was demolished under the pretense of renovation. At the time, it was the oldest building on Franklin St
