The planning and building of this structure took almost five
years. All beams are authentic and all fancy woodwork, display cases and
cabinets were manufactured on the premisies by the proprietor William Dugan and
his able assistant, Steve Lower. The beautiful leaded glass windows and doors,
consisting of over 1700 pieces of glass, were also constructed here by these
same two craftsmen.
The large chimney in the main dining room starts six feet
below floor level and extends forty feet into the air. It weighs nearly one
hundred tons and has fireplaces both upstairs and down.
The fireplaces were built by Harley Q. Brown, Master Mason
of Shelbyville, Indiana. Bricks used in the lower fireplace are over one
hundred years old and were taken from the Odd fellows Hall in St. Paul,
Indiana. The mantel is a one hundred forty eight year old hewn beam from Shelby
County. We extend to you the most gracious welcome to come dine with us. You
can be assured you will be served amicably and attentively.
We promise we will strive to bring you the finest food,
beverages and dining pleasure…to make The Fiddlers Three one of the most unique
places to dine in Indiana.
