Dean and Millie Short opened Ye Olde Lantern in 1959 in the home of a former barbecue joint known as the Green Lantern. The 1959 menu included a top sirloin for $3.50, Australian lobster tails for $3.25 and swordfish for $2.30.
Ye Olde Lantern closed for good in 2006. The space is now an Elks Lodge (No. 385).
