Object Details

The House Restaurant was founded in the 1850s, and by the time this menu was printed in 1983 (and autographed by Representative Tom Bevill), luncheon fare had changed. Low cholesterol specials and tacos joined throwbacks to an earlier age. For 40 cents, a hungry Member of Congress could order up a cold glass of buttermilk or a hot cup of Postum.
