Bushong p.3

When I first saw this I thought the building must have been a bank. An old photograph sent to us by Glen Pykiet confirms it. In Daniel Fitzgerald's book "Ghost Towns of Kansas" an older photograph of the structure shows a gas pump. At one time it was a tavern. A cafe sign is propped against the windows.
In the back right corner of the building is fortified room was probably the bank vault.
The iron door still includes a combination lock.
What kind of treasuers are hidden inside? All that remains is a bulk oil container and pump.
