A black and white photo postcard showing The Top Café, an eatery at the top of the Divide on Highway 80. Two cars are parked in front. A water tank is up the hill. There are no other buildings around. View is looking north. By the 2000s it had been added on to and became a residence. The postcard unused, and the publisher is unknown. Annie Larkin Collection.
The Top Café was once at the Bisbee Divide. On their menu they offered steaks, pork and lamb chops, hamburgers and an assortment of sandwiches along with tomato and vegetable soups, potatoes, salad, hot coffee and tea. After the café closed down, the building was used to house the first television in Bisbee, the Fred Rosen TV and Bisbee residents were offered to come in any day of the week from noon until 10 p.m. to watch its programming. To hook it up, a coaxial cable was hung from the 7,000-foot-high juniper flats. Today, the Cafe's building has been turned into a private residence.
