The former TD Bank building on Main Street has been boarded up for the bulk of the summer as workers transformed the space into a new restaurant operated by the Taylors, owners of Freight Yard Pub among other local eateries.
 
The building is owned by Ginko on Main Street LLC, which has granted 20 years of exclusive possession of the property to Latent Builds as the developer. Jack and Suzy Wadsworth, behind Ginko, are development partners with Salvatore Perry and Karla Rothstein of Latent.
 
The bank closed in early 2021 and was purchased by Ginko late that year. 
 
The building has hosted some pop-up eateries.
