A historic marker outside the Creative Advantage building on Union Street gives some of the history surrounding the site, which was originally home to barracks during the American Revolution.
The structure was built in 1872 and used as a church until 1957, when the congregation was dissolved.
The building then became a senior citizens center for nearly 20 years before it was purchased and turned into a restaurant called Sunday’s in 1978. That business lasted about six years, and in 1988, when the building was vacant, Supley was just across the street at 707 Union St., looking for a bigger place to house his rapidly expanding marketing and communications company.
