JONESVILLE, Ind. – Due to an overnight fire in the early morning hours of Tuesday, May 19, just past midnight, the popular Jonesville bar and grill, "The Brick," is now temporarily closed.

The Brick's owner, Johnnie Travis, estimated that it may take "about three to four months to reopen the restaurant."

The damage to the interior was extensive, but Travis believes the building itself could be saved.

Travis added, "Thank you all for all of your kind words and willingness to come together as a community and help clean and rebuild. I appreciate your patience and the prayers and love during this time."
