Some sweet local history will be on the auction block in St. Catharines Tuesday. More than a dozen complete booths from Diana Sweets, a former landmark diner on St. Computer Screen Clock. Paul St., will be sold to the highest bidder at Peninsula Liquidators Auction during its 6 p. I cant reveal the source. I keep my consigners confidential, said auctioneer Luke Pasmore. He said the Bunting Rd. About a half dozen have been set up in the auction house, showcasing hundreds or even thousands of signatures of Niagarans who dined at the popular hangout during its 7. Thats the whole mystique of Diana Sweets, people used to go in there and carve their names, Pasmore said, noting his name is etched somewhere on the wooden booths. The beauty of these is the carving. The old diner, an institution immortalized by fictional detective Benny Cooperman in Howard Engels mystery novels, was also known as The Di. Pasmore said not only are the booths historic, they are also exciting examples of art deco style. Theres definitely architectural value, he said. It is great deco stuff its 1. While Pasmore would prefer to sell the booths as a complete set, he is willing to split them up depending on the interest in the items at todays auction. One of these booths would look great in somebodys kitchen, he said. Im going to just try to get the fairest price for the consigner. He hopes someone local buys the booths so they can remain in St. Catharines. Local resident Sally Dollar, who has a page on her website www. Diana Sweets, also hopes the booths find a local home. In fact, she was part of a group that once worked to get the furnishings from The Di returned to St. Catharines from an antique dealer in Buffalo N. Y. She said the Friends of Diana Sweets got close to raising the money needed to buy the items but werent able to find a place to put them. She visited Peninsula Liquidators Auction Monday to see the booths. She said it was emotional to see so many of the booths from a place she remembers fondly. The diner is where she had her first big girl lunch with her mother, and the site of her first date. I hope they find a happy home, she said. Theres so much history. It was one of the iconic downtown places. She said her initials can likely be found on at least a dozen of the wooden booths. That was the fun of it, she said, recalling she would use her fork to covertly etch her initials. Pasmore said its not every day he gets such unique items for auction. This is unusual to have something like this here, he said. This is something normally you would sell on site. He said the auction house sold the booths when the restaurant closed back in 1. They were sold to a man from Buffalo, N. Y. He said theyve changed hands since then, and a few years ago some pieces, including booths, became part of a Niagara on the Lake motorcycle shop. On its website, Clares Harley Davidson Niagara details how the business brought back Diana Sweets furnishings, which had been languishing in storage for more than a decade. A photo gallery highlighting what the dealership has done with the nostalgic furniture can be found atwww. To view the pieces available for auction, visit www. Tuesday between noon and 6 p.

FLECHEStandardStaff. Diana Sweets furnishings have been bought and are on their way back to Niagara  Randy Clare from Clares Cycle has purchased the remaining lot from the antique dealer in Buffalo and is bringing it to Niagara on the Lake to be restored and put in his new Harley Davidson Store. It is not exactly as we had planned and hoped, but at least she will be preserved and located closer to her downtown St. Catharines home.   We are excited and relieved Thanks Randy For over 7. Years, Diana Sweets The Di was a conspicuous landmark business in the downtown core. Equally as important was the major role which it played in the social and cultural life of St. Catharines.   Although the Di went through three major changes in managment during its history as a restaurant the Grammar family, the Droganes Brothers and finally Maria Correa still, it never lost its ambient charm and atmosphere.

The Di became a meeting place for three and possibly four generations of St. Catharines residents, whether it was for a quick coffee or snack, lunch or dinner with friends, family or co workers, or simply as a quiet retreat for a few moments durning a busy day. The Di was a comfortable, familiar destination where the staff got to know regular customers by name, and could take their orders without having to ask for it. When the Di closed in 1. Coy Bros Hardware and Levitts China. The blow became even more poignant with the removal of the original Art Deco interior and other restaurant fittings which were shipped to Buffalo, destined for resale to the highest bidder. The Di is just one example of several historically and architecturally significant downtown structures or built heritage features which have vanished within recent memory.
