At the intersection of 207th Street and Broadway stood the Arras Inn. Originally considered a fine dining establishment it eventually became well known as a speakeasy during prohibition. An article in “The Evening World” from April 17, 1922, stated that 20 agents on Easter Sunday raided and gave summonses to establishments including the Arras Inn for violations. Eventually, a portion of the building would also share its storefront with a B.F. Curry Chevrolet dealership.
