Inside the Bamboo Room bar — a wider angle, ca. 1948

ca. 1948

Highland Beach, foot of Sandy Hook

A wider-angle interior of the Bamboo Room bar at Highland Beach, ca. 1948. The full curve of the bamboo-clad bar counter, the Bentwood stools evenly spaced, the shelves of bottles and mirrors behind. A partial jukebox is visible at right; the door in the middle of the frame leads to the back service area. Palm-tree wall paintings frame the far corner. This angle captures the room's full working depth — bar, dining floor, and the Hawaiian-mural side walls together.
