Kings Mountain’s Mayor Announces Opening of New Old Stone Steakhouse
Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey announced today the opening of the new 3,900 square foot Old Stone Steakhouse in downtown Kings Mountain. This is the second restaurant for Nick LaVecchia whose popular restaurant in Belmont, North Carolina offers regional cuisine with Nick’s gastronomic flair.
In addition to designing the restaurant with Wagner Murray Architects, themed with natural stone, reclaimed brick and timber, WMA principal, David Wagner, will be commissioned by the City of Kings Mountain to paint a Revolutionary War mural depicting the Battle of Kings Mountain. Kings Mountain has actively nurtured its historical ties to this pivotal revolutionary battle which turned the tide for the Patriots and ultimately led to the defeat of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia in 1781. The mural will be approximately 30’ long and grace the Old Stone bar, aptly titled, “The Battleground Bar.” The restaurant is expected to open late summer 2010.
