The Grotto, a gentleman's resort at 449 Procter St. in Port Arthur, Texas. Two men are standing behind the bar and three “gentlemen” (two of them look rather scruffy) are coming in for service. In the background there are mirrors decorated with arches and ornately carved columns. Three Christmas wreaths hang on the mirrors. Spittoons are at the ready, with leaks from the pipes and unidentified stains on the floor.

Denton L. Burch was the proprietor of the resort. View full size.
