Item Description

Identifier: unknown

Title: AF-Restaurants, Lunchrooms, ETC

Description: Exterior view of the Old Spaghetti Warehouse in Austin, Texas. The Austin location was the third location in the chain's history. Opened in 1975, and built in 1902, it used to be a grocery warehouse, and during prohibition, was a brothel. Two chandeliers from New York City's Penn Station reside there as well as the original box office from Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Like its Dallas counterpart, it is also home to an original East Dallas trolley car. The Austin location closed April 23, 2011 due to physical building issues.
