Built originally in 1927, two-story wood and stucco structure. David B. Koontz built it as a roadside lunch stand on US 30, the only paved road running coast-to-coast. 24 feet in diameter, covered originally with sheet metal. Two stories, operated as lunch stand, then a bar until its decline.
Originally one of almost 20, there are now only 5 in the area.
Saved in 2003 by the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor, who hired architect Mike Eversmeyer to oversee the move across the street to the Bedford County Fairgrounds, the new owners.
