Ever heard of
Wiley's Tea Room ? I hadn't until I ran across the postcard.
The clothes seem to place it in the 1920's and the narrow room seems
to place it downtown. A little mystery. Searches of Polk's City Directory turned up a Wiley's Restaurant which operated for a four year period, 1924-1928 at 514 south 17th street. The same address is listed as the residence of Laura Wiley. She is listed at that address before and after the restaurant. Her occupation is listed as a maid. The paper search has gone no further than the city directory. |
