Klavon's Ice Cream Parlor, Pittsburgh on the corner of 28th & Penn in the upper Strip District
When I looked for info on this machine, I found photos of a machine in a semi-circular design with one unit in front and one on each side, but none with them in a row like this. On the triple machines, each had its own motor so that if one went bad the others would work independently. I also learned that many milkshake aficionados claim these old machines still make the very best milkshakes. I couldn't find exact dates for when a machine like this was made, but other similar ones in this green color came from the 1940s and 50s. Hamilton Beach made its first milkshake makers in 1911, so this store could have had an older model when the store opened in 1923.

James and Mary Klavon opened Klavon’s in 1923. The shop closed in 1979 and sat dormant for 20 years. In 1999, James and Mary’s eight grandchildren and a cousin teamed up to transform it into a full-service ice cream parlor, conserving the original features.
Klavon's features its original marble countertops, stainless steel fountain equipment, revolving stools that were originally fashioned to look like Coca-Cola bottle caps, and wooden phone booths.
A mark above the phone booths shows how high the floodwaters reached on St. Patrick's Day of 1936. The owners' son, Raymond, was in early to move the basement stock and equipment to the safety of the first floor. Spring thaws generally brought a foot of water into the basement, but that year the waters rose much higher and faster, driving Raymond and his cousins to the top floor. They were rescued the following morning by rowboat and had to exit through the windows above the phone booths that still stand in the parlor today.
In 2011, Jacob and Desiree Hanchar and their children fell in love with Klavon's. Two years later, the couple purchased the shop. In 2015, Jacob took the famous Penn State Ice Cream Course and now makes his own ice cream straight from the Creamery tradition!
By the way, the GPS info on the right is incorrect. It is in the upper Strip District or Lawrenceville which are across the Allegheny River from Troy Hill.

This one is just for me! (although I think the appliques would look fab on some bunting!) It's not quite finished yet, binding, quilting, and ties still to be done, but I'm getting there.

I used a slicing method I learned a while back. I machine quilted it on my Singer 7460 machine.
