Junell Brady, Owner

 
  

1920   157 Charlotte Street is Economy Drugs, North Asheville's first drugstore.

1940   Economy Drugs becomes Gordon's Fine Foods, operated by two brothers.

1976   Steven Brady transforms Gordon's into a popular college bar known as The Pub.

1978   Brady enlarges The Pub. He also purchases salvage rights to a 29-room upscale
           boarding house, and porches, arches, wainscoting, corbels and windows from
           other Victorian houses, as well as the fine staircase and other adornments
           from the building where O. Henry kept his offices, and incorporates them into
           the charming second floor and foyer.

1980   The restaurant is enlarged to provide a separate dining room for large parties
           and gatherings.

1995   Junell Brady takes over as owner and operator from her father.

2007   The restaurant is remodeled, maintaining the Victorian theme while integrating
           a modern, relaxing color palette; the foyer is transformed into a comfortable
           lounge...
