Vintage advertising matchbox from Hasenour\'s Restaurants and The Atrium, two connected dining establishments at Barret and Oak Streets in Louisville, Kentucky.

Hasenour\'s was a celebrated Louisville dining institution founded by Ed Hasenour in 1934. The restaurant became especially well known for its traditional fine dining, prime rib, steaks, Kentucky country ham, and German specialties, serving generations of Louisville residents and Kentucky Derby visitors.
