Opulence of 1913


This is the light fixture above the booth at the end of the bar at the Olympic Club. It might have been repaired a bit over the years, but otherwise represents the original appearance when it was installed a century ago. Most of the bar and furniture dates to a remodel in 1913.

It is unfortunate that it is uneconomic to build with similar quality and style in the present day.
