An Attica State Prison cell door keeps wine and liquor secure in the downstairs bar.
The Kinzua Korners was purchased from Harold Stutzman by Jim Colosimo, a local Bradford businessman, around 1972. At that time it housed a souvenir & bait shop. Over the next few years a clothing outlet, a fast food stand and the "Safari Lounge" were added.
On June 17, 1977 the Kinzua Korners complex burned to the ground. The newly built "Safari Lounge" addition, had only been open for about a month.

This pewter mug is the only item of the "Safari Lounge" that exists today only because it wasn't on the premises at the time of the fire.
Other items that were purchased arrived after the complex was destroyed and have since been either given away or sold over the years.
Although lawsuits were filed from both sides, the courts ruled the fire to be accidental.
However, around 1980, Jim Colosimo decided that a new restaurant should still sit on this spot as it is a prime location for tourists and locals alike. He built the "Spindletop" bar during the construction of The Warehouse Restaurant to be able to retain the liquor license. Once The Warehouse opened, the Spindletop doors were closed. There is, however, a piece of the Spindletop that adorns the wall in The Warehouse Restaurant.
Jim Colosimo sold The Warehouse to Leo Kay 2 months after completion, who then sold it to Mike Jones around 1987.
The Warehouse is the home of some very unique items which makes it a one of a kind in the area.
"The Crowd" was featured as the backdrop for the baseball games in the movie "The Natural".
The lights in the dining room were not made specifically for the restaurant, however, they came out of a church.
The Warehouse Restaurant was purchased in 1996, by its current owner,
George Protopopow.
This mirror is from the Spindletop, which was named after the gusher, in east Texas, that marked the birth of the modern petroleum industry. The mirror has taken its place of honor in the upstairs lounge.
When The Warehouse Restaurant was first built there was a fire pit, in the middle of the diningroom, which had to be removed due to a liability issue and also the locker that Robert Redford had in the movie "The Natural' seems to have just disappeared over the years.
