On the left
is the full page advertisement
from Polk's 1921 Scranton City Directory. The picture is the same, but
it is now under the management of John J. Schafer. Also mentioned is a
new cafeteria. The switchboard numbers were for Bell and New telephone
services. |
Two undated
photographs. The one below has
"Old Cafeteria" (probably the original mention in the ad at left)
written
on the back. On the right is a mirror which reflects a fan on the wall,
and a window sign advertising Lunch, eggs, chops, and other items not
visible.  |

At the left is an enlargement of a
silver horseshoe which is connected
by a short chain to a charm displaying a crest and "Hotel Casey,
1911-1936."
The original is three and a half inches long and seven eighths of an
inch wide.

This good thing came to an end. Scranton Times Tribune Editorial, 05/17/2004 "Progress always carries a price, and part of it in downtown Scranton has been the eradication of structures with roots deep in the city's rich history.
