When the
building was being remodeled into a restaurant,
invoices and correspondence were found dating back
to 1904. After the Pickling Company moved to Winona,
this building was used for numerous things by a few
different owners.
In 1987,
Wayne and Carol Nelson and Ralph and Mary Wallin purchased the building with a
restaurant/bar in mind. The ceiling is original and
they sandblasted the beams. A new roof was put on
and the building was insulated. Wayne and Carol sold
the business and leased the building from 1992-96.
However, it was reopened under their management on
August 9, 1996.
The basement or “BOTTOM of the
BARREL” was remodeled during the summer of 1997 is
open during the weekends during the summer.
In June of 2003, the Nelsons sold
the business and building to Bruce “Wally” & Rene
Lohman and Roger & Lisa Anderson. They have
continued to offer their customers excellent service
and great food in a comfortable atmosphere. |
