Postcard
Main Street
| Text on the front reads: "Main Street, Spring Green. Showing the Gard Theatre and Dutch Kitchen Restaurant." Buildings on Main Street with cars parked diagonally. Signs read: "Dutch Kitchen" and "Gard Theatre". Pedestrians are on the sidewalks. The Dutch Kitchen was built in 1857 as B. Stong's Hotel. It was purchased in 1921 by immigrant C. Meyers and renamed The Dutch Kitchen. In 1963, renamed Post House by new owners Jack and Mary Bayenbruch, the hotel portion closed in 1967. It was purchased for the last time in 2002 by Gary and Lisa Schwichenberg, then it burned down in 2004. The Gard Theatre was built at the same time and has had many owners and names. A non-profit Community Theater Association currently runs the theatre. The postcard has a scalloped die cut edge. |
