History
West Main is located in the Inge building, which was constructed in 1820. In 1890, the building was purchased by George P. Inge, an African-American businessman who used it for a grocery store and his own residence for many years.
[2] The family lost possession of the house in the early 20th century and it became a restaurant at the time. A fire in the 1980's damaged much of the building, but it was restored. However, a portion of the first floor was not restored, allowing for people to glimpse the basement bar from the front entryway. [3]
Prior to being West Main, it was a restaurant called Awful Arthurs. Owners Anderson McClure and Pat McClure changed the name to West Main when they purchased the restaurant in 2004.[4]
