The costliest marbles and tile. But not gaudy, never!
(In all seriousness, I wish I could have seen this place.  The Green Mill is still around, but not the Gardens.)

Must be from the days before there was a train stop at Lawrence and Broadway.

That does look pretty darn cool!

Great ad!! I found this with an oral history of the place. It's great some of it still exists.

That was a great read! I've lived in Uptown for almost a year now, and still haven't been to the Green Mill. I'm going to have to round up some friends and go!

Much of that land is now the Uptown Theatre, which itself is closed and decaying lo these many years. Maybe someday soon....
