UPhO #9

We are in the process of inventorying a collection of glass plate negatives and came across this one of Leonhard's Casino. We suspect it may have been out at West End, but have been unable to prove it. Does anyone out there know?

UPDATE:  Many thanks to Historic District Landmarks Commission's architectural historian, Lillian McNee, who provided us with documentation for the building. Leonhard's Casino was located at the Spanish Fort.
