Old School: Templin’s Grill

On Old School Coeur d'Alene, Kimi Coles posts this photo of the old Templin's Grill in Coeur d'Alene. You vehicle buffs will have a better idea than I re: when this photo was taken, judging by the autos parked along the road. I remember eating at Templin's soon after I arrived in Coeur d'Alene in 1984. That was right after Duane Hagadone grabbed control of the old North Shore Hotel & Bob Templin's Western Frontiers hospitality empire. Hagadone renamed the eatery Murphys for a short period before tearing it down. It was located west of Hagadone Co HQ. But this photo doesn't show the Templin's restaurant that I remember. Was it originally located someplace else in the downtown Coeur d'Alene area?
