Description:
The Boss Saloon was originally a waiting room for the river ferry that ran from Flanders street on the west side to current eastern base of the Steel Bridge. The ferry was abandoned in 1888 when the first Steel Bridge was completed. The building was a two-story "flatiron" building: triangular with three sides. It became a saloon and purportedly was a hotbed for shanghai-ing shennigans.
It became a simple eatery, "Boss Lunch" in its later years.
I'm sure it was demolised in the 1940s to make way for Harbor Drive (which is Waterfront Park today).
