Great stories, thank you for sharing. I think it was one of the longtime co-owners’ obituaries that said it opened in 1946 but that doesn’t mean it didn’t operate under a slightly different name before that. The St. Louis city records for the property don’t list a date of construction for some reason, but the building looks 100 years old to me. I know how family tales go but there’s often an element of truth in them, at least.

She loved the place and, according to my mother, was quite popular with the regular crowd. She walked to work from her home on Miami (later Spring).
Family lore has it that my great grandfather Wilhelm Ebersbach owned the place in the twenties or thirties but lost it in a checkers game at Tower Grove Park; I’ve never substantiated that tale.
