"A Bridge To The Past"

Welcome to Eagle's Pizza. Our pizza has been a part of New Albany and enjoyed for over thirty years. As the business grew it became apparent that a dining room would be needed to accommodate the already well known foods. In September 1972, we purchased the present location on which we have continued the business until the present time.

 
In 1847 the present site located on the corner of Main Street and High Street was first purchased by John McCurdy from Noble Landon who platted the then fledgling town ten years earlier. John purchased the site for the purpose of opening a country store which he and his nephew continued to operate until 1905. The current brick structure was constructed around 1856 and today the original hand formed walls and elegant tin ceiling can still be admired throughout the dining area. The country store changed hands many times but continued in business until the 1970's.

 
The current site over the years has also housed the post office and New Albany's early Fire Station. In the 1920's a soda stand was featured to the delight of the local school children.

 
In 1993 when it became apparent that more space was needed, we decided to do a complete renovation. Our main priority was to retain as much of the building's character as possible and also add on much needed space.

 
The brick sculpture created by Allen Morgan, of Hanover Brick Co., titled "A Bridge To The Past" is how we percieve our country store building and it's decor. Many of the artifacts we share were used by Plain Township residents. From the oxen yoke that our forefathers used when settling in Plain Township in 1830 to the original butcher block utilized here in the country store. All of the photos are of local residents and the early years of Plain Township. When visiting our store feel free to enjoy "A Bridge To The Past"
