The Kronenhalle is a Zurich institution, a legend created by Hulda Zumsteg... in 1924 she and her husband took over a derelict hotel on Bellevue Square and turned it into a popular meeting spot with a unique ambience. Under the stewardship of the legendary restaurateur, the locale soon became a meeting spot for writers, artists and members of high society, such as James Joyce, Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Chagall, Federico Fellini, Max Frisch, Friedrich Dürrenmatt and Carl Zuckmayer.
Features the 812 Competizione perhaps the ultimate expression of Ferrari's concept of an extreme front-engined berlinetta .

Greavette at Gravenhurst
Title: "Greavette at Gravenhurst"
by Jay Koka, © 2022
44”w x 34”, acrylic on canvas, with the studio
This new original work features an early Doug Van Patten design Greavette 24 Foot Streamliner. This beautiful craft is an excellent example of the design of the era and a perfect representation of Canadian craftsmanship.
The setting is the Gravenhurst Ontario harbor with its iconic steamships in the background... the 130 year old historic steamship R.M.S. Segwun and the modern replica steamship Wenonah II. Built in 1887, Segwun is North America's oldest operating steamship and was originally designated a Royal Mail Ship. Wenonah II, was launched in 2002 and combines turn-of-the-century charm with modern conveniences.
