At that point the bar closed and the building underwent a 10-year renovation (not kidding) before becoming an old-fashioned general store, now defunct. The bar was semi-restored the front/side was painted a deep brown and the gouges filled in (the other side attaches to a wall).
The top was lightly refurbished to keep its character (and its beautiful wood patina). We also added a brass foot rail and shelves on the inner side. This piece is as solid as a boulder and is a beautiful piece of Americana.
