Greenback Saloon.

[Houmes]

I had my D.C. expert, Joan Chaconas, searching her 1864 D.C. Directory today (thanks, Betty, for putting it on her work computer!), and neither the Star Saloon nor the Greenback Saloon are listed - at least under those names. Under people, there are lots of Fergusons, but she found no James listed. Peter Taltavull is listed, but at his residence on Eighth Street. We already knew that because he lived only a short distance from the Herold family.

Boyd's Washington Directory for 1864 lists Peter Taltavull has having a "restaurant" at 561 8th east. Grillo Scippionse is listed as a musician living at G south near 8th east.
