Looking to dine out this #ThrowbackThursday?
This 7-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ black and white photograph shows the interior of the Calumet Cafe, located on the east side of Fairmont Avenue. There are tables with tablecloths in the center of the room, booths along the right wall, and a snack bar with stools near the front. Display cases and shelves with merchandise line the left side of the room, and streamers hang from the ceiling. Several customers sit at the tables and booth. Two male employees stand by the display cases, and a female employee stands by one of the tables. In August 1907, the cafe was purchased by A.B. Tomasek, and it became Mrs. Tony’s Cafe.
