Update: $750,000 renovation converting the cavernous Berthana Building
By: Curmudgeon
The Standard-Examiner has up on line this morning a kind of photo essay on the historic Berthana Building downtown [and purported lynchpin of the planned expansion of the Convention Center] View it here:
Not linked to any currently running story that I can see, but many of the captions relate to on-going renovations turning at least part of the building into The Copper Club, identified as a sports bar. [e.g. one caption: "Lighthouse Lounge which will be the new Copper Club sports bar inside the Berthana building in Ogden on Friday, May 20, 2011." The date refers to the date the picture was taken, it seems, not projected opening date of the Copper Club.]
Presumably a story about the renovations/opening of the club is in prep now. Never having seen the inside of the Berthana or the old ball room, etc. I found the pix interesting. FYI.
Update 5/22/11 7:15 a.m.: Story on the Berthana renovation is now up on the SE website:
Here's the lead:
A $750,000 renovation is converting the cavernous Berthana Building into a downtown entertainment venue scheduled to open in August. Dubbed the Copper Club, the venue will occupy two floors of the Berthana, 315 24th St., and will be operated by Lynda Huddleston and several partners.
