Last Friday Christina Wald and I went sketching at the Taft Ale House. It was a rainy day so we decided to sketch inside. If you haven't been to this rehabbed old church made into a restaurant/bar then you need to go. The renovation is quite stunning (you can see photos here). I enjoyed their attention to all the details from the wallpaper, to the chandeliers, and even the toilet paper holders.
Their logo is of Taft sitting in a bath tub. If you don't know the story, Taft was a rather large man and may have gotten stuck in the White House bathtub. An extra wide bath tub was also requested for him on his trip at sea on the USS North Carolina (more info here about these stories). The logo for the restaurant depicts Taft in a bathtub holding a glass of beer. You can visit their website to see their logo plus their food and drink menus. All in all a very nice way to spend a rainy afternoon.
Love it! Sounds like you had fun.
