From the nomination panel: “Gorgeous tavern set–not easy to make this fit into the round, to have a bar that all sides of the circle can see easily into, but that’s what happened. Plus the gorgeous old wood of the bar and the style, as well as the old neon sign and the bits of old hotel above, really evoked the run-down feel of the place.” [Yankee Tavern] |
