Restaurant history of 405 Wellington Street. From the Top Hat to Barnaby's

The new building opened in July 1946 as Schiffman's Top Hat Drive-In Restaurant, then was the Maverick from 1961 to 1972.
It was the Steak Out from 1973 to closure in 1981 when it sat vacant for nearly a year for remodeling. In July of 1982 it reopened as Heath and Company with ten large Shaughnessy cowboy art paintings adorning the walls until 1986 when they were removed. In 1987 it became JD's on the Green East, then Barnaby's from 1988 to 2000.
