More about The Wharf’s history:

One indication of the building’s age is the fact that the floor joints supporting the second floor were notched into the beams at both ends; this is a construction technique that was widely used before 1800.

One of the first businesses in the new building was the Miller Company, described in history books as “importers and dealers in crockery, china, etc…” The Miller Company installed an elevator, the lift of which can still be seen next to the bar next to the restaurant and the pulley wheels in the attic.
