'The Leather David,' originally from Feebe's Bar in New York, is one of only three known in existence.
A more recent addition, these angel sculptures came from The Lure in New York. Before that, they watched over the boys playing at The Mineshaft.
A detail from 'The Last Supper,' donated by MCC's Rev. Troy Perry. It's one leatherman's interpretation of the infamous meal.
'Randy' presides over the leather bar exhibit, showcasing memorabilia from leather bars from all over the world. |
