Oxford Saloon & Eatery History
The Oxford Saloon & Eatery, established in 1910, is one of the oldest restored
saloons in the northwest. Housed in the Oxford Building (built in 1889 as
Blackman Dry Goods Store) this fine old place, totally restored in 1992, has the
look and feel of an 1880's saloon. There are two floors with original and
restored fixtures of the period throughout. The main floor still has the
original large oak back bar, the moose head where patrons would pitch nickels
for beers, and Big John, the Knight in Shining Armor. The back bar survived a
sailing voyage from the east coast around Cape Horn and was retrieved from the
Seattle Hotel in the late 1890's.
Downstairs is the comfortable Ole Time Pub and the upper floor is now occupied
by The Red Door Salon.
One of the major attractions of The
Oxford is it's famous for being haunted by upwards of 18 ghosts! The spirit of
“Kathleen” has been seen in her colonial dress in several places, most notably
Room #5 on the second floor where the rooms were used as a brothel at one time.
The most famous spirit is a policeman named Henry who was killed in a knife
fight in the stairwell leading to the lower bar. He’s pictured in a framed photo
by the stairs along with other officers in Keystone Cops type uniforms
and has also been seen at times throughout the building. According to a Seattle
Times article, staff have heard their names called in an empty room, seen
objects fall off the bar for no reason, and find pictures hanging crooked when
they had been straight moments before.
