Large Dining Room
restaurant
大食堂
This room was first used for banquets, then for painting exhibitions and lectures.
The Large Dining Room inside Sapporo's Old Public Hall has served many functions since it opened: banquets, painting exhibitions, lectures, and in the years after World War II, even a hospital ward and office space. The current furniture arrangement recreates the room's original banquet configuration. Two large display cabinets with mirrored surfaces, documented in newspaper photos from the building's opening, remain in the room. The carved wooden ceiling sets it apart from the plaster ceilings found throughout most of the building, and a fireplace with a pomegranate-tile surround and artificial stone mantelpiece runs along one wall.
