440 Main Restaurant has an extensive history and a permanent tenant. The building has been around for about 30 years and has a past of other businesses, making it one of the oldest in the city.
The building once had a banquet hall where people would come to dance. A young girl named Mary fell while dancing, although it's unclear whether she fell down a balcony or stairs. Mary has become a household name for 440 Main.
