Scope and content
Elegant remodeled lobby of Winthrop Hotel featuring entrances to the hotel coffee bar and newly-renamed Three Keys main dining room. This September 5, 1963, color photograph displays the rich tones of gold and wine that decorate the lobby. Three oversized brass gate keys hang at the entrance to the main dining room. A gold tufted elongated bench provides a comfortable place to rest in the lobby; behind it are three Italian colored glass panels, each 15 feet tall, which separate the main dining area from the lobby entrance. The theme colors of gold and wine continue into the coffee shop where a solid red-wine carpet provides contrast to the gold-toned seats. A unique feature of the Winthrop coffee bar is the placement of individual toasters on the counters so that customers could brown their bread to their own taste. (TNT 5-1-63, A-6)
