During prohibition, and before, the 2nd floor consisted of 2 apartments and a separate speakeasy and ballroom. Everybody has a brick bar story.

As always, thanks. Believe it or not, these take a long time because I throw out a lot before deciding what to keep and how to arrange them. But it's fun. It mirrors how I think.
