One-stop culture shop

A local treasure resides at 81-83 Fall Street in nearby Seneca Falls. Known as Temperance Tavern, the business includes an upscale bar, a picture framing shop called Heirloom Picture Framing and an art gallery known as Elizabeth Cady Stanton's Bloomers' Gallery in reference to the village's role in civil rights history.

Owned by Jack and Kathy Pross, this unique business is the world's only art bar with picture framing. Having moved to Seneca Falls from New Hampshire, the Prosses bought a store that was not originally for sale, spent all of their savings on restoring it and now sell art in one side and run a bar in the other.

According to Jack, the couple moved to Seneca Falls for the quality of life and the people - despite the high taxes. After having lived in western New York in the 1970s, Jack left in 1978 when he was transferred for his job. Never forgetting the kindness of upstate New Yorkers and the serene beauty of the landscape, the Prosses returned after 21 years in New Hampshire.
