Washington, D.C - Olmsted Restaurant - MULTIVIEW - Mt. Vernon & White House: Known for its oysters, the Olmsted Grill, at 1336 G Street NW, was founded by Bert L. Olmsted (1878–1940) in 1926. Behind its distinctive Gothic windows, Olmsted’s featured a dining room said to be one of the largest in Washington. Olmsted earned a reputation for offering excellent seafood obtained daily from the Chesapeake Bay and nearby Atlantic coastal waters. Olmsted claimed to own oyster beds off Chincoteague Island in the Chesapeake that were washed over by ocean waters and thus acquired a pleasant salty taste. Using these select oysters, Chef René Roux prepared Baked Oysters Casino according to a “300-year-old family recipe.” The dish remained a major draw for the restaurant for many years until the Olmsted Grill closed in 1962. This Linen Era (1930-45) Multiview with images of the Restaurant, framed by view of George Washington's Home at Mount Vernon and the White House, is in good condition. Made by Grafico, Inc.
