Progress on hold at ‘The Rat’ as structural problems emerge
Posted Feb 25, 2012
Diane Fountain is seeing her plans to open the Ramshead Rathskeller delayed once again. Fountain hoped to open in 2010, then in August 2011 and then in early 2012 — but each time, she said, she hit roadblocks. Now, construction for the Rathskeller, also known as “The Rat,” is stalled after a demolition crew found two splitting and sagging ceiling beams.
