The building that housed a landmark dining establishment in Jacksonport will be razed next week. Mr. G’s Supper Club is scheduled to be torn down next Monday. The supper club was the victim of an arson fire in October of 2022. Jonathon J. Polich was arrested in November of 2022 and faced two counts of Arson to Dwelling. He pleaded no contest to the charges and was committed to a mental health facility after a plea deal was reached with the prosecution this past October.
The building has been owned by the Geitner family since 1973, and Bob Geitner, who, along with his wife Mary, has owned Mr. G’s Supper Club since 1981 after purchasing it from his father.
Geitner says there was too much damage to the building to save it.
There are no immediate plans to rebuild the supper club at this time, although he has hopes that family members may take over the property. The Fernwoods Garden Ballroom, located just north of the building, is operational and held occasional catered events this past year.
