The Mt. Tom Tea Room, with its carefully lettered sign and rural setting, is a lovely example of the "roadside" tea rooms of the American Northeast that were built as add-ons to old farmhouses and offered luncheon service to adventurous motorists. In this photo you can clearly see the original farmhouse, the gabled addition where tea and meals would have been served in winter, and a second add-on, the screened summer tea room. The fresh paint, tidy barn, tool shed, and firewood pile show that this was in some measure a working farm as well as a tea room. I get a strong impression that a craftsmanlike husband built this showplace tea room for his wife.]] | + | [[File:Mt.-Tom-Tea-Room-Route-209-East-Strudsburg-PA-postcard-front.jpg|center|thumb|600px|Mt.
