Sign reads, 'Eskimo Inn." Not pictured: Back: Printed memo reads, "Eskimo Inn, Winona Lake, Indiana, Popular dining spot at world's largest Bible Conference. 'Where friend meets friend and fellowship is sweeter.'" This concrete and brick version of the Eskimo Inn was built shortly after the end of World War II. It replaced a building similar in style to the building on the right. Its slogan, "where friends meet" reflected its informal approach to dinning. The restaurant featured a gift shop to the left of the entrance and a soda fountain on the right side of the entrance. It featured a booth and table dinning area and in the rear there was an area secured by folding doors that could be used for private dinning or opened up to handle over flow crowds. Many college students helped to pay their way through college by working here in the summertime.
