Mrs. K's cozy, spicy dining


Mrs. K — for Kreuzburg — no longer owns Mrs. K's Toll House Restaurant, and the name has been shortened to Mrs. K's Restaurant, but in the early 20th century, it was a toll house with living quarters for the keeper and his family. The toll was 2 cents, the price of mailing a first-class letter.
