´Bernice 0eyer, a local informant who lived across the street
from the property during the 19s, recalls the property used

onto the property because of the illicit activities there, she recalls
few speciÀc details about the operation of the nightclub.
&onseTuently, little is known of the character of the visitors,
whether they were friends of the +ausmanns, or if the club
was generally accessible to residents of 9ero Beach.
´The +ausmanns, to help insure the protection of their personal
property included in the legal documents a contents list
of the house,µ the declaration continued. ´The dining room,
library, living room, mistress bedroom, master bedroom,
guest bedroom, pantry and kitchen were carefully inventoried.

plant to the unincorporated areas of ,ndian 5iver &ounty.

0eyer·s testimony about the property used as a nightclub, >>
