Scope and content
This night exposure of Barcott's Sea Food restaurant was taken in September of 1955. Barcott's Sea Food, at 3832 So. Pine St., opened in late May 1953 across the street from the property now containing the Evergreen postal station. It was owned and managed by John E. Barcott, Jr.. John's father, John Barcott, Sr. founded the California Oyster House. His brother, Anton, owned and operated Harbor Lights. The spacious dining room was decorated with fishing gear and nets. There was plenty of parking for customers who came in to enjoy the fresh seafood and succulent steaks. John E. Barcott sold Barcott's Sea Food in 1978 and it became The Steak and Lobster House. Although ownership and management has changed several times since then, the exterior of the building remains much the same today. (TNT 5-28-53, p. 15)
