When Billy Baldwin's sports bar, Billy's Long Bar gained such popularity that he could no longer hold the crowds, he did the sensible thing and bought the Pizza Hut next door. He then completely gutted and remodeled the Pizza Hut and connected the two, calling the new room Hellfire. The Hellfire Room was only open at night, with a totally different ambiance, and a decidedly upscale look, as opposed to the more casual sports bar on the other side. The door separating the two venues boasted glass on which I carved a restoration-era vision of the mouth of Hell. Inside the room were three large, arched panels depicting the struggle between good and evil, based on works of the nineteenth century artist, Gustave Dore. |

Segment of Gustave Dore's The War in Heaven which illustrates Michael's defeat of Lucifer and the rebel army. Note how many of the figures were eliminated to preserve the flavor of the work thereby making it easier for viewers to understand. |
