Postcard from Lake View Tea and Dining Room

This undated postcard shows the Lake View Tea and Dining Room at 730 E. Superior St., “on the shore of Lake Superior where you can view the large steamers coming and going.”

Though one can indeed view the steamers and see the Aerial Lift Bridge from the back side of the building, the illustrator of the postcard distorted reality a bit by putting the bridge in view just to the right of the building. As shown in the 2024 photo below, the bridge is not actually in view from this perspective.

A vacation rental unit, operated through Airbnb, now occupies the space bearing the historic name of Lakeview Tea.
