General Description

During Prohibition, F. Willinger’s Beer Hall became known as the Court Café. At about this same time, the owners constructed an addition to the south of the original building, giving it the “L” shaped appearance so popular in Greek Revival frame buildings and creating the footprint that remains today. Note the Rahr Malting Company in the background of this photo -- known during Prohibition as the Cereal Products Company. In the late 1930’s, the Pekel family purchased the Court Café and renamed it “Pekel’s Colonial Inn.” W.M. Willinger (assumed to be a relative of the original owners) located his insurance and investment firm above the restaurant. By this time, the white clapboard exterior had been covered with asphalt shingles.
