I sent an email to Bob Schulz who was playing trumpet with Turk Murphy the last few years.  here is his response to what happened to the furnishings that were in Magoons.  

BTW- I played intermission piano at Magoons off and on for 3-years, Aprox 1970 – 1973. It was a great gig. I got paid to listen to the band and play only about 20 minutes each set. 

I thought I had died and went to heaven.  

Note: In Schulz’s response below, he mentions Nicks. Nicks is a club in Pacifica CA, just below San Francisco where we play Aprox once a month. Our list mate Scott Anthony is also in the band. 

Schulz mentions Harriet. She was Turk’s wife. Pete was Pete Clute, Turk’s pianist and co-owner of Magoons.

Bob...I have a couple of the original bar stools (that I refinished)
from Clay St. Magoons.  I use them all the time in my house.  As for
some of the windows from Magoons on Pier 39, those were gotten by some
fellow who lives in Jackson, CA.  (he comes to our Nick's gigs every
time we have them)...All of the Magic Cellar stuff was taken by Pete
Clute Turk and put in storage.  When Pete died and Turk died, Harriet
sold most of it as far as I know...So there...:-)
