This authentic 1970s color photograph, captured in 1972, documents the exterior of the Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, Michigan. The archival image showcases the restaurant’s iconic Alpine-style architecture, featuring a dark wood-sided upper story with a decorative rooster emblem and a long balcony adorned with lush flower boxes. To the right stands the famous white Glockenspiel Tower, complete with its large clock face and a carillon of 35 bells housed under a shingled roof. The parking lot in the foreground shows blue-lined spaces and meticulously maintained flower beds featuring yellow marigolds. Known for its world-famous chicken dinners and German heritage, the Bavarian Inn is still standing today and remains one of Michigan’s most popular tourist destinations. While the inn has expanded significantly and added a lodge and waterpark since the early seventies, the original architectural charm of the main restaurant and its glockenspiel tower remains meticulously preserved. This factual record captures the beginnings of Frankenmuth’s transformation into “Michigan’s Little Bavaria.” All our images are available as royalty-free instant downloads for use in books, media, and creative projects – or make your own prints for home, work, or as a truly unique gift.
