i'd be better off (in a pine box)
in 1923, the business moved again, to a building on the northeast corner of melrose avenue and pine street, also extant as of 2009. clarence bagley, writing in 1929, described the building as having a crematory and columbarium, fireproof receiving vaults, a funeral church and chapel, and drawing rooms, and utilizing "cadillac motor equipment with special designed bodies" as their hearses, stocking "funeral furnishings… from the most simple to the magnificent." the former chapel of the melrose mortuary now houses the bar the pine box. whereas few traces 1921 first avenue's original use remain at kells, the pine box retains "leaded glass windows and enormous mirrors, ornate dark woodwork, vaulted ceiling, antique fixtures" and the original wood salvaged from the basement to build the bar top and tables.
