A Peek in the Old Biergarten Haus space – Archeological Finds Vol. 117 – CARS! or is it Quaker Oats?!?


1355 H Street, NE

ICYMI: Nesso Plaza Coming here: “A space for community, creativity, and local business.”

How cool?!! Thanks to G. for sending from the old Biergarten Haus space on H Street, NE:

“Peeked through the window. Almost everything is ripped out. Looks like there was an ad on the wall!

It looks like a 2 story ad. I wonder if that was an outside wall after the 68 riots and then the building was later rebuilt.”

Wild. It’s super cool. I hope they keep it!!

UPDATE from angela:

“Found this photo of an ad in DC by artist Sandra Walker (who made a watercolor of it). It’s not the same ad and no location given, but it has the slogan “3 dishes for 1 1/2 cents” so it might be a Quaker Oats ad! The ad in the Walker photo is for MB Flynn but I haven’t been able to find anything about them. Looks like maybe it’s a building supply / hardware store?”

Should you come across any old DC photos or ephemera from your or your family’s collection please send to [email protected] or DM us at one of our socials @PoPville thanks!
