Image:RKO backlot cafe bank.jpg

2D image, exported from a 3D model, of a building that once existed, until 1976, on the now demolished RKO Studios backlot called Forty Acres. Typical of most sets on a film backlot, this structure was ostensibly a facade only, with no practical roof or interior. The building was used as a film set and appeared on television's The Andy Griffith Show as the Mayberry Bank. It was first seen in the 1939 cinema classic Gone with the Wind as the National Hotel, in a dramatic scene that witnesses the Siege of Atlanta; and again in the 1949 film noir classic The Set-Up as the Ringside Cafe. It also appeared on Star Trek's episode of The City on the Edge of Forever, in which Dr. McCoy is seen walking in front of Walt's Restaurant before crossing to the 21st Street Mission situated on the north side of the street.
