in the basement, run in connection with the saloon
above. where some of the well known characters OF
Mott and Mulberry streets said to have had
their headquarters. Not long ago the saloon
moved and scarcely had the former owner
moved his fixtures when priest of the Greek
Catholic Church established his altar where the
bar used to stand. hung up number of religious
looking pictures and began his work of saving
souls.
According to the sign over what was once the
side entrance TO the saloon the church is Al
