Montgomery's Place occupies a historic building dating back to around 1896, initially a tavern known for its organ grinder and dancing monkey during Prohibition. The building later housed MacKellar's Bakery, renowned for its ``Butter Krust Bread`` and operated by former town mayor John MacKellar.
Jennifer Spence initiated extensive renovations in 2019, transforming the nearly 5,000-sq.-ft. space from a town eyesore with structural issues into a meticulously restored venue. The project involved new roofing, concrete foundation, steel posts, and beams, along with the incorporation of historic items donated by the community.
Tim Nation and Kyler Worthen, from 131 Hospitality, lead Montgomery's Place to offer a unique dining experience, emphasizing high-quality coffee, creative cuisine, and classic cocktails. The combination of a rich historical backdrop and detailed restoration sets the stage for a distinctive culinary and beverage venture.
