Dutch Sisters Inn, Smorgasbord Lobby.

Front: The front image is captioned “Dutch Sisters Inn, Smorgasbord Lobby” and features a full color image. The image depicts an interior room with multiple surfaces offering food in a buffet style. In the front left, a small table holds several types of bread and a large bowl of what appears to be salad. Also on the left, towards the midground of the image is a similar table that holds a white, multi-tiered object that may be a Smörgåstårta (Swedish Sandwich Cake.) A longer counter on the right side of the image holds an assortment of meats and other unidentifiable food items. Towards the back is a counter that appears to hold a cash register, and through a doorway a dining room with several chairs can be seen. The floor is finished in muted red and black tiles, and much of the furniture and fixtures are made of light brown wood. The counter holding the meat is decorated with wallpaper featuring windmills.
