Marcel & Jeanne's French Cafe opened in 1929.

"The building was a scaled down version of a French-Norman cottage right out of a children's storybook.
A small version of the Eiffel Tower lit the main entrance. The upper walls in the various dining rooms and bars were covered in French countryside murals."

The cafe closed in the early 1980s and stood standing until it was demolished in 2007.


1970s

The building still looked great in the 2000s.....................................................................................................................
I can't believe it wasn't saved.
