Park Restaurant 126 N Benton
Title
Park Restaurant 126 N Benton
Description
Old photos of 126 N. Benton show it to be the only building in the block between East Jackson and East Judd streets without arched windows and a brick cornice (such as in the building to the right). The northwest corner of the original storefront had a glass display window on both the Benton Street and the Judd street sides. In 1914, the Model Restaurant was located in the basement.
This is the building that housed the restaurant in which Jim Keefe's mother, Florence Cooney Keefe, worked. The photo is still attached to the black paper backing from a scrapbook. Other pages with a similar backing and handwriting such as "Woodstock" have photos of the school fire in 1919.
This photo could have been taken as early as 1912 (possible work on the square) or as late as 1942 (the 1938 and 1940 city directories list Park's Budweiser Café).
