Below: The signs are gone, no longer offering “The Finest Dinner on Earth” for $1. The larger windows on the right front of the building have been reduced by a brick wall to two smaller windows. Recently, an apartment for rent sign was in the window. Photo by Michael Durand.
This history is enlightening to me because I’ve lived in the neighborhood for decades, and was previously incorrectly informed that it had once been a firehouse. This is a great photo from the past. Thank you for sharing it.
