Eybel's
Cafe, 333 N. Main, 1928
A native
of Germany, Charles George Eybel (1870-1963) first opened The
Eybel Cafe on Railroad Avenue, near the Union Depot, sometime
before 1919. In 1922, Eybel contracted with Frank Jacoby &
Son to construct this building at 333 N. Main.
In 1938,
Eybel converted the cafe into a cafeteria, at which time the
attractive divided-light front windows were replaced with
an aluminum and black glass facade. The interior was redecorated
in shades of blue, yellow and black. Up-to-date steam tables
were installed and a neon sign was added to the front of the
building.
Eybel
also opened the Eybel
Hotel at 410 Fuller Ave. in 1928. It was later named the
Nash Hotel, and was demolished around 1970.
