The following photos of the interior of "Big Dorothy's" are from the collection of Wally Peel, who took them after the death of Dorothy Baker in 1973, just prior to the public auction of her belongings.



As Wally tells it... " When Big Dorothy passed away in 1973, her family decided to auction her belongings off. My friend Jack Hargrove was hired to do the job. One evening he and I went up there to see all the items he would be selling. I brought a camera and took some photos. I would not claim that these are the only pictures ever taken there, but I would venture to say they are at the very least quite rare. These are interior photos of her establishment exactly as it was when they closed her down."
