New life as the New Vienna Buffet

the earlier post includes this photograph of the New Vienna Buffet (middle of pic)
detail / complete (colorize) pic here: rCarlton
HossC included this section in a panorama here: Panorama
In the 1894 city directory shows the site as "restaurant, wines, liquors, amusement hall, F. Kerkow, prop. 10-16 Court."
The 'Vienna was listed with the new 114-116 Court St. address in an 1895 Chamber of Commerce members list.
