Thirty-three years before women were allowed in 's Old Ale House, located in , , took this photo. Much is still the same: the swinging doors, saw dust on the floor, pot-belly stove, wood tables and walls filled with old photos, newspaper clippings and art. The white crocks for drinking ale, however, are a thing of the past--lost, broken and stolen. They've been replaced by glass mugs.

Great photo and great background story, thanks!

Berenice Abbott is such a powerful photographer: always technically solid and visually resonant, fantastic tonality with those luminous highlights, --- but never "artistic". Instead it is always the subject that quietly takes centre stage. "Straight Photography" in its purest form. Atget and Walker Evans are related but perhaps too poetic to be straight Straight? Lewis Hine might be the closest.
