There's been a few structural modifications (I kind of miss that suit of armor in the window) but otherwise the building still looks great, and the signage was tastefully applied.
For a comparison, here's what it looked like back when it was the Castle Feast.
I had forgotten those trees, and didn't even miss them in the newest photo. So I guess the building has come full circle.

UPDATE – April 2024Since this post, I've posted an ad for the 1941 Grand Opening of the Castle-on-the-Lake as a 'dinner-dance club here. There's also a 1952 'Sixth Anniversary' ad here. Click on the 'Castle-on-the-Lake' label on this post (or on the list of labels at right) to bring up all of the Castle posts over the years.
And here's a recent photo.
The place would have made such a great White Castle (yum).
ReplyDeleteMy cousins owned this when it was Castle on the Lake and then a few years into it being a Mexican restaurant. The upstairs was their living area and it was beautiful! We had family reunions there for years.
ReplyDeletewent there for our prom dinner in 1960. So romantic
ReplyDeleteI worked at Castle-On-The-Lake during my senior year, 1980-81.
