Photograph of an exterior view of a pig-shaped restaurant, 1920-1929. A restaurant in the shape of a supine pig is situated at the center of the image, its open mouth and neon-lit snout pointing diagonally to the left. Windows line its visible side, while an open doorway sits to the right of its eye. A girl in overalls stands at the open mouth, looking to the left. Tables and chairs, shielded by umbrellas, sit both in front of and behind the pig. Trees and a building that appears to be residential are visible in the left background.
