Gold Room, 1967, photo 2

This image shows three men sitting at a table in the Gold Room in Plemmons Student Union, built 1967, at Appalachian State University (1967-current) in June 1967. Seen sitting on the left is Food Services Manager John Welborn. The Gold Room provided leisurely dining, specializing in steak and seafood, and was kept separate from other Food Services operations, including the Bavarian Inn, the University Cafeteria, and the Ice Cream Parlor. The Gold Room was replaced by the Blue Ridge Cafe in 2000, and now houses McAllister's. Plemmons Student Union originally included the campus post office, offices for student activities, recreational and lounge areas, a coffee shop, and a restaurant. On the right is Howard Cottrell, Bookstore Manager.
