We all remember the devastating fire at Wunderbar that happened last year on the morning of Saturday, August 23.

In February, Wunderbar reopened in Rhinebeck. Earlier this week, a "For Sale" sign appeared on the building at 744 Warren Street.

The current state of the building, constructed circa 1908 and known as the Bellwether Building, is described in this way: "Structurally sound and now at a complete reset, the building stands ready for its next chapter: historic facade intact, original staircase preserved, and every square foot open to whatever its next owner envisions. . . . Following a fire in 2025 and subsequent gut renovation, the ground floor is an open canvas."
