Popular Restaurant and Pub in Wells, Maine, Temporarily Closed

Throughout the state of Maine, there is no shortage of historical buildings and structures. Maine is home to dozens of 18th century buildings, forts and historical sites.

Some of those 18th century buildings are still being used as homes and spaces for businesses. There's a draw for people to historic structures. But with buildings that are more than 200 years old, there can be some problems.

Buildings that are multiple centuries old will always need repairs and some of those repairs can be costly. Some of them can take serious time.

Which is why one very popular restaurant and pub in Wells, Maine, has to close down until further notice.

In order to keep guests and staff safe and expedite repairs, Feile made the decision to shut down the restaurant and pub temporarily with the hope that they'll be able to reopen in very short order.

Another Classic Wells, Maine, Restaurant Also in Danger of Closing

The Maine Diner, a Wells institution, was put up for sale a few months ago with a $3.3 million price tag.

While there has been some interest, no buyer has emerged.

According to the Portland Press Herald, the Maine Diner is headed for a foreclosure auction in June as its current owner heads towards retirement. Whether or not the Maine Diner survives the foreclosure auction of the property is anyone's guess.
