This 1854 three story building on the east side of the Carlinville Town Square became the site of Pete Adam's original Ariston Cafe. Be sure to check out the Wayside Marker in the square to see a photo from when the cafe was located here.

xThere are two identical signs on the building commemorating it as the original site of the Ariston Cafe. This one is on the corner as seen in the first photo in this page.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
