Going Down: Cedar Brook Café

The former Cedar Brook Café on Post Road East was demolished today, two weeks after a snowstorm caused a roof collapse in the rear portion of the structure. No one was in the building at the time of the Jan. 30 collapse. (See WestportNow Jan. 30, 2011) The nation’s oldest, continually operating gay bar ended a 71-year run at 919 Post Road East last June. (See WestportNow June 25, 2010). New owner Andy Im, operator of next door Swiss Cleaners, purchased the property for $1.6 million in 2009. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
