The Bella Union was a saloon and theater that opened on September 10, 1876, in Deadwood, South Dakota.[1] The proprietor was Tom Miller, an aggressive businessman who would buy several neighboring properties as well.
The Bella Union was a relatively upscale establishment where town meetings came to be held.
In November 1878, Tom Miller went bankrupt, and the Bella Union became a grocery store downstairs and a meeting hall named Mechanics' Hall upstairs.
