The dining room of the Sterling Cafe in Ocean City, New Jersey, is the focus here, and the record also lists waitresses among its subjects, placing staff alongside the room itself. Ocean City was a seaside resort on the Jersey Shore, where summer visitors filled restaurants and cafes near the boardwalk and beaches during the 1930s and 1940s. Interior views like this one show how such eateries arranged their tables and served customers during that period. The record gives only a date range, so the exact year and the cafe's later history are unknown.
