Bickham- Kaiser’s Cafe 3

Architectural Interest

Architecturally, Kaiser’s seems very unimposing from the street. The small building has been, over the years, engulfed by the ever expanding sprawl of St. Anthony’s. Outside, the building presents as a simple, white-brick construction with no flair or pomp other than 1920’s-style awnings over the doors. Inside however, the aesthetic of the Roaring Twenties has been painstakingly maintained. Checkerboard wall tiles, earth-tone flooring, a vintage soda fountain, and carefully selected barstools all combine to remind the patron of the historical significance which the exterior belies. I was lucky enough to work for the company that remodeled the bar area in 2016, and I can attest to the very strict standards of period-placement that were employed in the renovation.
