Scheffel Hall

Just another historical remnant. Just another once upon a time restaurant.

In the late 1890s, when all of this downtown area was German, 190 Third Avenue was a renowned rathskellar, Scheffel Hall. Joe King ran a beer hall at this address in the 1950s

It is landmarked, I believe, but it may be for sale.

Built 1894-5 by Henry Adams Weber and Hubert Drosser, at a time when the area south of it was known as Kleindeutschland (“Little Germany”)
