 Morgan's Tavern and GrillThe building in which we call home here at Morgan's was built in 1911/1912 and was known as the "New Bern Garage Company, Inc." This company was known as one of the leading organizations for repairing, handling and purchasing automobiles. The New Bern Garage Company were agents for Buick and Hudson Automobiles and Henderson Motorcycles. The building itself is a massive brick structure with wall measuring 14 to 16 inches thick. The building has one of very few balconies built in downtown New Bern and original steel framed skylight in the center of the restaurant. As you walk thru Morgan's you'll notice displays showcasing period tools which would have been used by associates of the New Bern Garage Company. We are proud to call our home here! |
