The Center Building, built in 1903 in Downtown Alpena, was first known as the Daylight Store because of its large storefront windows and many skylights. In 1997 the current owners bought the building and embarked on an extensive renovation and restoration campaign. The building has been brought back to life with the Fresh Palate Restaurant, Thunder Bay Winery and Nucleus Bar on the first floor. Changes made to the frontage in 2014 have made indoor / outdoor dining possible with the addition of sidewalk café seating. Businesses occupy the second floor and Art in the Loft is housed on the third floor. A conference on the lower level can be hired for a daily rate.
