Tec Adhesive Used in Historical Tavern on the Green Renovation
New York’s Tavern on the Green reopened in April 2014 with a design that evokes its pastoral past and a custom-made hardwood floor, made with Tec's WoodStrong Premium Urethane Wood Flooring Adhesive, achieves a rustic yet elegant aesthetic.
Tavern on the Green was built in 1870 to serve as shelter to the sheep that grazed in Central Park’s Sheep Meadow. The Victorian Gothic structure was converted into a restaurant during the park’s 1934 renovations. In the years that followed, the Tavern transformed into a lavish space—complete with a dance floor, Tiffany-stained glass and ornate crystal chandeliers. From 2010 until 2012, it was used as a visitors' center and gift shop. After extensive renovations led by owners Jim Caiolo and David Salama, it reopened as a restaurant on April 24, 2014. The restaurant’s new look hearkens back to the original building’s character.
