Frame-and-Panel U-shaped Bar in Solid Mahogany and Bird's Eye Maple Veneer Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Portsmouth architects John Rummler and Steven McHenry commissioned me to build this bar for the new Acadia Restaurant. This establishment was housed in a converted colonial residence, which was carefully retrofitted for this venture.

The bar featured solid mahogany framing with bird's eye maple paneling, and avonite bartop with a 'Chicago roll' in mahogany. The overhanging valance matched the lower cases, and held recessed lighting and cabinets for glassware. The steel pillars supporting this valance were boxed in mahogany. Bar stools were by others.
