Dive bar it isn’t, that Tom A. Williams Bar and Billiards establishment. This undated vintage advertisement probably comes from some time in the early 1900’s and is a nice visual insight into watering holes from that era. In addition to the mounted moose head across from the bar, Williams also elected to have a couple of them on all fours — hooves and all. Sometimes one moose head just isn’t enough. Also note the creative seafairing pattern near the crown molding. Playing to the clientele down there
on First Ave, smart move. Click on the image for the full resolution version.

Now see, Cliffe, this is my kind of joint. What I would do to get to be an early twentieth century party goer, I’d give both arms and legs for the chance!

But would you grow hooves for the chance?

Yes, I would, Cliffe. I am that much of a dork!
