The History
What is known in historical records as “The Dolph Building” for the Moore & Dolph Meat Market that was in resident here in the 1880’s, 220 South Bridge Street has been home to a number of different structures and businesses.
The original wood frame structure was built in 1868 by Elias A. Black and operated as a hardware store. E. A. Black and his brother J. P. Black owned and built a number of homes on Heustis Street as well as their adjacent homes facing Van Emmon Street. Both homes have been since torn down.
During the 1860’s-1870’s, The Haigh Brothers Implement and Hardware store resided here, Margaret Dubar’s Millinery Store in the early 1900’s and Mewhirter Grocery for a short time in 1907.
This later became home to the Farmers State Bank as pictured here. George Mewhirter opened the Bank here on January 1st, 1914. In the early 1960’s, the facade was drastically changed by removing the 2nd story of the banks crumbling foundation and was rebuilt. The bank called this building home for over 60 years before moving to the north side of the Fox River in Countryside Center.
When renovations started for The Vault the new owners uncovered an approximate 8’x15′ sub-level vault that held the actual gold and silver coins as well as cash for The Farmers State Bank.
This Vault is now the namesake of our restaurant and will be an absolute fixture as part of our new concept.
