Tudor Rose Sign Departing

One bright spot in the closing of the Rose was that its sign was saved. If ever another Tudor Rose should open in Salem, Oregon the familiar sign may once again welcome returning and new patrons.

So That's What The Floor Looked Like

Several photos were stiched together to show the Rose cleared of all the wonderful merchandise and cabinets that gave it so much character. (It was beginning to show its origins as a chain restaurant.) Terry and Bob did such a good job clearing out and cleaning up that the building could have been ready for its next occupant, rather than the heavy machinery that chewed through it a year later.
Sidewalk inscription (12 KB) So long as the sidewalk on the Liberty Street bridge remains intact,
a small piece of the Tudor Rose will remain in downtown Salem, Oregon.
