Club Room Remodel
Jan 1, 1982
One of many periodic remodels. This remodel reconfigured the bar from a grand piano shape in the front of the building to a horse shoe shape set back from the front. It also updated some of the wood paneling and put in the raised floor area in the front of the building. See the complete album of pics under photos.
