This ad certainly brought back some memories for me. I suppose you could say memories of cherished relationships, but not necessarily “sacred.” They were memories of living on Capitol Hill a couple years ago just a few blocks away from this building. Of course, now it’s
a hip bar. Maybe that’s why my memories of it are hazy rather than sacred. It is a fun place to go to on a Friday night — the music usually isn’t bad and the interior is quite a sight. Check out the ad from the 1928 Argus, when it was The Butterworth Mortuary. I’d say this is one of the more creative adaptive re-use projects in the city. If not for the dry cleaning leakage,
Deano’s could have taken a cue.
