A big old building, now home of the mexican chain Sanborns (store and restaurant) which worths a detailed visit both inside and outside. Dont miss the murals on the stairs that lead you to the bar. More

The restaurant is now owned by Sanborne's, who puts out mediocre traditional meals at a reasonable price.
