Let's have lunch at City Restaurant
Ada has a long history of Main Street restaurants. Here's one of those, and we invite Icon viewers to offer additional information.
Here is the inside of the City Restaurant on North Main Street, Ada. The photo is from the collection of the Ada Public Library. We lack a year, owner and address of this one-time Ada eating establishment.
Looks like a small scale on the front counter. Could that be for weighing candy that's in the showcases? The electric light fixtures can probably be dated to the 1920s.
Take a closer look at the floor design. It appears to be designed to fit the restaurant layout, which is long and narrow.
