I just realized there was another
Maison Gaston location.
This one was located at 1219 N. Vine.

Here's an ad for it's opening in 1944.

"In 1946, Maison Gaston’s added Bob Leine as pianist as a way to increase business, and then also began offering lunch in 1947.
Operators tried all means to bring in new customers to build revenue. Steaks and other entrees were played up in 1948 ads
before the restaurant’s eventual demise."
but by Dec. 10, 1951. it was already being auctioned off.
