What a history this classic and beautiful building has.

It all began in 1869 when a group of Grand Rapids women organized a history class and it grew from there. So much so that, what had become the Ladies Literary Association, ran out of space and decided to build their own building. That original building is still standing we know as The Lit, and it is quite the place.

I know it well as my daughter, Molly, had her wedding and reception there four years ago. What a wonderful time we all had, family and friends. It really was a magical place.

Now, The Lit is sort of returning to yesteryear, it's roots.

TV8 reported that Penny Loafer, an organization owned by Penny Hock that is working to get its nonprofit 501-C3 status, has taken over operating the building.

The cool thing is that they will offering Grand Rapids a unique spot for breakfast and lunch. This building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the architecture along with their stained glass windows and their classic Tiffany stained glass window, make for a magical spot to relax, and enjoy delicious food.

They are open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday's from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
