As it Stands

After sitting vacant for decades, the elements have taken a tole on The Cobb. However, plates, glasses and microphone stands remain in their respective locations ready for another memorable night, almost as if the front door was closed an simply not opened again. On this page take a virtual tour of Cobblestone through the interactive map, seeing what the interior looks like today, view signature rooms, as they once were and how they stand right now, and keep updated with Nate's Note! 

Latest Updates

Recently, focus has been placed on the back room where the bar used to be! As shown in the video, cement has been placed to redo the floor and boards are being put up to prepare for the pizza parlor. This all comes as phase one of Nate's vision. Learn more about the future of The Cobb and the documentary's mission in this video!

Signature Rooms

Signature Rooms

WS Ballroom.png

The Ballroom

Where music, singing and laughter once used to fill the air has become a void and left the floor that supported thousands of feet sagging. With booths and the stage still holding strong, once basic necessities, such as water, ventilation, and electricity are restored, the ballroom will become the primary area of focus with renovation efforts

The Dining Room

While tables have been moved, glasses, dishes and menus still clutter the kitchen waiting to serve another meal. Although no renovations are currently taking place, once the ballroom starts hosting events it's the hope that funds will be collected to begin the restoration of the delicious dining hall.

Main Entrance

The iconic ticket booth still stands strong waiting for crowds to flow through the door once again. With neon signs still on the walls it's like you can see the memories. Slowly but surely dust makes way for a vibrant refurbishment.

Reception and Banquet Room

As with most rooms, the Reception and Banquet Room has been in the gutting process to determine next steps. Although not the primary focus right now, it has undergone a transformative change from what some remember it as. However, no need to worry, original restoration remains the focus!

Cobb Tavern

A place when many gathered for a drink has been left untouched, with old signage, glasses, and cans sitting on/around the bar. Without a doubt, many laughs and memories were made here as friends danced the night away just behind them.

The Circus Lounge

The historical, one of a kind circus paintings remain on the walls and plans to preserve them are in the works! While the circus tent ceiling may be draped low it doesn't take away from how special this room is! And yes, the pool table is still there!

Nate's Note

“The focus remains, for the moment on electricity and ventilation while we eagerly await the arrival of the pizza oven."
