Third Place Books now operates out of the one-story building, along with its cafe, Vios, and Third Place Pub in the basement (where us book-lovin' drunks belong, I suppose).
The northwest corner is not quite as lovingly restored; however, it is lovingly occupied. Gasoline Alley Antiques has called that building home for over four decades — since 1974.
