Salvaged Antique Mahogany Bar Back
UPDATE (3.9.19): SOLD!
Beautiful and rare mahogany bar back salvaged by our deconstruction crew from a building in downtown Pittsburgh. Excellent condition and currently in manageable proportions for transport. Certainly not your average reclaimed find!
In fact, this particular item may come with much more history than we even realized! Thanks to a CJ Facebook follower, we were shown an article from the Point Park Globe about this bar back and the building’s… well, complicated and maybe even haunted past.
A brothel from 1860 to 1937, a boarding house until 1979, and Tramp’s Restaurant after that before finally becoming Papa J’s in 1994, the restaurant retains much of the original architecture. The wine closet was once an alleyway, the women’s bathroom used to be a bedroom, and the ornate wood carving over the bar is a repurposed headboard and bedframe once used by the Madame of the brothel herself.
