BERLIN — The city has sold the former Woolworth building and its four lots for $1 to a business owner on Main Street.

At its June 6 meeting, the council approved a resolution selling the building to Aaron and Pamela Throneberry- Perkins for $1 with the couple agreeing to substantially improve the property and bring it up to all city codes and ordinances. The couple currently own and operate the Main Street Affair at 151 Main Street. Their plans for the old Woolworth building are to make it into a venue that would serve food and drink, would have pool tables and darts and entertainment.
