Day 7 & the LaFlesch Building

The LaFlesch building began life in 1891 as the home of Missoula's Gazette, a competitor to today's Missoulian. It has gone through several incarnations since then beginning in the 1920s. the longest occupancy was Chuck's Lounge and The Flame. The Flame opened in the 1940s and remained until 1980, its classic early-day neon sign inviting visitors inside for a game of shuffleboard and a beer.
Eventually, the bar was renamed Corky's and later, after Jay bought out his brothers, Jay's.
Some of the building's other past lives: the O.K. Barber Shop, The Falstaff Cafe, the Pioneer Barber Shop, the Uptown Club and Cocktail Lounge, Derby Liquors, Nash Bar, Murrill's Cocktail Lounge, Hartsell's Bar and Lounge, Jerry's Lounge.
For a while, in the 1920s and 1930s, Mattie Fitzgibbon ran a boarding house on the second floor.
Now the building is renamed the LaFlesch Building, printed where the original Missoula Publishing Co. showed its name in 1891. It is named after the owners, Jay and Stephanie LaFlesch, who bought it in 2006 and restored it and its Spanish influence parapet. The upstairs bar is now a chi-chi members only watering hole and the downstairs a dance collective.
I'm still at odds about the screaming yellow color, but that's just me.

Day 7....almost halfway there!  :-))
