OWL RESTAURANT

This was a short-lived eatery managed by Fred A. Clark, otherwise a waiter in other restaurants.  Clark was arrested in the 1912 Vice Clique Scandal.  No specific information about the Owl is known other than its short existence according to city directories, but, given that Clark was gay, it may have been a place for gay men and lesbians to gather.
