| Bar and restaurant originally owned by William (Bill) Foster, a big game hunter who decorated his establishment with his trophies. The basement had a hidden poker room. After Foster's death in 1963, his widow sold the Big Horn to Frank Snyder, who had been a bartender in the bar. The restaurant and bar are still open.
The use of both the diamond and square-square-rectangle mold chips at Foster's Big Horn was confirmed by Phil Pezzaglia, the curator of the Rio Vista Museum. He received the chips directly from former owner Frank Snyder.
