A painted mural, advertising "Lovel Burch Hotel Bundy European” was located on the east side of the building. It has since weathered away, and only some fragments of a “Mail Pouch Tobacco” advertisement, added much later, remain. One of the more memorable of the hotel’s services was the availability of not only a bed for the weary traveler, but a companion for the evening, if so desired (Sorry, this service is no longer available). 📷 @muzbell More history at https://www.irishlion.com/history #irishlion #bloomington #indiana #bloomingtonindiana #irishpub #iu #mailpouch
