Golden History: The Innards of the Rose
Buffalo Rose, 7 Years Ago – Dave Powers
Click to enlarge
7 Years Ago
My friend, Dave Powers, took these pictures on February 7, 2018. The Buffalo Rose was undergoing a massive remodeling at that time, and it was a fascinating opportunity to see interior walls that hadn’t seen daylight for nearly a century.
The several buildings that make up the present-day Buffalo Rose have served as restaurants and bars, a barber shop, department store, roller skating rink, swimming pool, and garage. The next time you visit the Rose, look for the plaques that describe those earlier uses!
Thanks
