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 porch 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.]] | ||

Blanche L. James was the proprietor of the Venture Tea Room and Art Shop at 255 South Camac Street from 1919 to 1925. That year, joined by two new partners, Corinne Meyers and Rose Kessler, she opened the Venture Bookshop, Gardens, and Tea Room one block north of this location, at 201 South Camac Street. For those who are curious, the drawing to the left of the beautiful lettering represents a group of lotus or water lily pods. ]] |
