The Boon Brick Store is a historic building in Salem, Oregon, United States. It was built as a general store by John D. Boon who became the first Oregon State Treasurer. It also once served as Oregon's first State Treasury.[1] It is now a brewpub owned by the McMenamins chain known as Boon's Treasury.[2] Before being bought by McMenamins, it was known as Karr's Tavern.[3]
The two-story Italianate-style brick structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. John D. Boon House at Mission Mill Museum was formerly located next to the store.[1]
A local legend states that as a teenager, President Herbert Hoover carved his initials into the outside of the building during his three-year stay with relatives in Salem.[4] At the time the building was William Lincoln Wade's grocery store.[4]
