The Standard in an old 1800's home turned into a very elegant restaurant.
Mz Hen was one of the hostess and the other was Knoxie who had a bug so I had to stop by her home to pick up the door prize. The Standard put two round tables at the end of a triangle table for our group. I sat on the other side of Shirley in the turquoise in front of the old heater.
From my chair I could look to my left and see the doorway and columns and the tapestry was behind me. You can see the reflections of the tapestry in the mirror above the fireplace which was directly in front of me.
The fireplace and mantle under the mirror. Wonder how many people have kept warm by this fireplace.?
This is the old radiator which was directly behind me on the right side. I could reach back and touch it from my seat.
This is the ballroom upstairs where many a party have been held. I wish I had gone up in the balcony and taken a picture looking down.
When you come down from the ballroom, you enter this little long courtyard. When you go out the door at the end you can see the batman building and the bullet building.
I was heading home and I stuck my camera out the window like a tourist and took a picture of the Frist Art Center and the Union Station.

The Kitty Justice is we all had a grand time and we just had our June luncheon and it was at the Aquarium Restaurant at Opry Mills. The lighting was not conducive for pictures as it is suppose to appear like you are dining under water. I made sure to sit where I could see the fish in the large tank.

I think it is only for decoration and for authenticity. I think if it worked,it would scare the diners when it began to pop and bang. Most diners wish the ambience of yesteryear but todays conviences. My MIL knew the lady who lived there before it was a resturant. Peace
Have a great week!
(((HUGS)))
We have had some good strawberries here also. Maggie will eat any fruit you give her. She did spit out the raspberries a couple of times before she deceided that they were good. I think it was the seeds. Peace
Wow a lovely place with beautiful surrounds to enjoy a meal.....just love the filagree radiators... Take great care ,
