Passenger liftthe pub will be housed in a brand new building, the owners have emphasized that they want to maintain the charm that had made the Chapter House a favorite of Cornellians for over a century.

“The owners of the building have been talking to the owner of The Chapter House and their intention to keep the feel of the old bar,” Deitz said.

The construction will be modeled off of photos of the original structure from 1905, according to Deitz. While they will likely add an elevator and a few other modern amenities, they expect to recreate the classic bar layout that stood on that site until last April’s fire.

The process of acquiring a demolition permit is still ongoing, according to Deitz. He said CPS was recently issued a certificate of appropriateness to demolish the remaining structure, which is a prerequisite to receiving a demolition permit.

“This is admittedly an ambitious schedule,” he allowed, “but we are hoping for cooperation from the City in order to achieve this.”
