After seeing the movie Midnight in Paris I was wondering what the Roaring 20s were like in our neck of the woods. I ran across these photos of the Attic Club, one of our small archival collections.
The Attic Club was formed by 13 artists and met in the top floor of the Times Building at 114 4th Street South. The club held exhibitions and social parties including costume balls and plays.
