1988, May 27
The 82 year old Colonial burnt to the ground in a short time on this Friday afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend. It was built in 1907, a majestic white, two-story building with a large dome and huge columns. It was a landmark on the corner of Delaware and Catawba Avenues. Three different fires at that corner consumed Put-in-Bay businesses there since 1878 when the first Put-in-Bay house burned. Valentine Doller rebuilt the House on the site jof the present Commodore Motel. He sold the property to the Put-in-Bay Amusement Compaqny in 1906. The colonial was built as an amusement center and featured a ballroom, skating rink and later an eight lane bowling alley, arcade, grocery, tavern, restaurant, movie house and clothing store. A new structure was built in 1989 and named the Beer Barrel Saloon. The Saloon is home to the "longest bar in the world" according to the Guinness Book of World Records
