![]() We’ve since pressed the imagination and the visual journey you will take wandering the nooks and crannies of The Abbey on Butler Street - more than one visit will permit. You will find a cross carved stone at our Butler and Home Street corner that was uncovered during the construction of The Arcade on the northern side of our building (opening someday soon!) Our patio for the Vesper Room operated as stone carving business. ![]() At our 47th and Butler Streets corner once stood “Centennial Hall” where the First Primitive Methodist Church was first organized. Hidden for decades, they were the actual ceilings in the original foundry space complete with rusted-out industrial lighting. The wood ceilings in The Coffeehouse and The Parlour Bar were uncovered during our renovation and were found painted white. We respectfully honor the lives and all of loved ones that met here to send off what some refer to as The Greatest Generation. The original portion of our building was constructed as The Wayne Brass Foundry in 1913 and then later renovated into Henninger Funeral Home during the Great Depression.
