This Day in History: 1937-10-14
An application for a liquor license was made for a tavern to be erected on the east side of the Ramsey traffic circle by Franklin Turnpike. This was announced as the first part of a large expansion program by the owners of the Swiss Chalet already located on the east side of the circle. Mr. Karl. H. Pfuhl, the proprietor of the Swiss Chalet, said that he was planning a whole series of buildings in the Swiss style, to be called “the Swiss Village, Inc.” Most of the buildings, Pfuhl said, would be homes. The tavern was to be 44 feet by 66 feet. The contour of the ground at the site would create an unusual opportunity for this sort of Alpine architecture, he said. (Bristow)
