circa: 1905

A picture of the Tollhouse Bar. A story has it that the bar was closed forever by Max Yancey after a fatal accident. After a wild night of partying, a fire had been built in front of the bar and a drunken woman fell into it, burning to death. Max Yancey, the owner of the building, felt responsible. At his order, no alcohol was sold in any form in Tollhouse until after his death in the 1960's.
