"The stone building, which currently houses the Meeker Café, was originally called the Vorges Bldg. It opened for business on May 9, 1891 as Meeker’s new Post Office building. In 1904, it became the 1st National Bank Building and in 1918, Rueben S. Ball moved the café out of the hotel to its present location. Phil Jensen, longtime resident of Meeker, related a story of how back in the early 1930s he sat in the café’s antique booths when they were located in the Midwest Café in Craig. Sometime in the mid 30’s the art deco style booths, counter top and bar back were moved to the Meeker Café." (from (visit link) )
