History & A Fun Find

As you may or may not know, the brewery will be in the basement of my parent's building.  I'll eventually post pictures of the entire building, but here is what you know need to know.  The building has contained numerous businesses over the years.  It was built in the 1930s as a United States Post Office.  During the late 1970s, the building was "decommissioned"as a post office and sold to a private individual.  Over the next ten years, the building was a campaign office for a local election, then became a dance studio.  Finally, in the 1980s the building came into my family.  My parents used it as a restaurant and a weekend teen club for a number of years.  Eventually, the restaurant and teen club were closed and the building was partially converted to my father's office, while reverting briefly into a teen club again for a couple years.  The building now houses my father's office on half of the main floor, and two offices on the upper floor.  The back half of the building and the entire basement was purely storage until recent months, when I started the cleaning out and deconstruction.

I was tearing down one of the walls during the deconstruction and I ran across an artifact from the teen club days:

The sign says at the bottom that smoking is only allowed in designated places.

The teen club was for high schoolers on Friday nights and middle schoolers on Saturday nights.
