Today’s photo is dated April 12, 1973, and show’s Mario’s of Windsor, later Bentely’s at 755 Ouellette. My informations shows the building as being built in 1948, and was designed by Windsor architect G. A. McElroy.
A detail shot of the signs. Notice the sign for the Dentist in the second floor window.
A view of the front entrance. Does anyone remember when Mario’s closed? I’m pretty sure it was already Bentley’s by the time I came to Windsor in 1989.

I had my wedding reception at Marios in 1961 and it was a lovely dinner. Also, as a child I played with the children whose family owned the Marios at Tecumseh and Ouellette. At one time, that place was where the young people went for pizza and fun.
the whole stretch from Wyandotte to elliott has turned into a slum
I remember the "Little B" very well, particularly my last evening spent there, April 20, 1978 - the night before I left Windsor to start basic training in the Canadian Forces. My friends took me out for a final fling - and was it!
in 1948, that Little Bavaria was a Royal Back. Here is a link for you http://swoda.uwindsor.ca/swoda/node/1078
