201 Wilder Ave is on the corner of Washington and Wilder and is currently home to Margarita Restaurant Latin Cuisine. They opened in 2024.
Prior to that it was Sea-Side Thai and French cuisine.
Before Sea-Side it was Margarita Peruvian restaurant, but with different owners than the current Margarita staff. The restaurant was downstairs and upstairs was a bar area. I attended a Chamber of Commerce function there in 2010 or so.
The spot was a vacant lot from about the Spring or Summer of 1972 until the current brick two-story building was constructed in 1980. It is a 3,260 square foot structure and is shown in real estate listings as a three bedroom three bath single-family home.
The lot size is 7,405 square feet, or 0.17 acre.
Originally, a very different building stood at the corner which is now known as 201 Wilder Ave. The Mayfair Theatre was built in 1932 and burned in a tragic fire in 1972, shortly after some five thousand dollars worth of remodeling and renovation had taken place in the 286-seat movie house. The address at that time was 302 Washington Avenue. The house to the right of the theater still stands to this day in 2025.
