Neil Ballard reportedly built what became the Hillside Tavern in the 1920's. The tavern operated at least into the 1950s. There were a few cabins out back and gas pumps out front, all those are gone. A fire in the early 1950s heavily damaged the second floor, but it was rebuilt, not the way you see it here. The front section seen here with the unusual window arrangement is a fairly recent addition. This is shortly before you come to the Beaver Creek Bridge a few miles west of the Zeno's site in Rolla.

It is located next to the old Pinga's Restaurant.
