The very historic building at 1 Glen Road in Sandy Hook was operating as H.G. Warner & Co when this photo was taken. The 4,730-square-foot two-story brick building was constructed in 1857 by William Glover. It replaced an earlier wooden building that was moved across the street. The store served the Sandy Hook community for well over 100 years. It was later renovated into a restaurant space, hosting multiple iterations of eateries. Foundry Kitchen & Tavern had been operating at 1 Glen Road, under a few different owners, since May 2013. Under that name the restaurant served its final meal last Sunday afternoon. —postcard image courtesy George Lowell
