The art had been acquired over the years by William Henry Haussner and Frances Wilke Haussner, who bought their first painting in 1939, "Venetian Flower Vendor," by Eugene de Blaas (1843-1932). Over the next 73 years, the Haussners acquired over 100 pieces, including highly important works by 19th-century European and American masters. The restaurant was closed in 1999, and the collection, which included pieces from the estates of J.P. Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Henry Walters, was auctioned by Sotheby's in New York City for $10 million. The restaurant officially served its last meal on Wednesday, October 6, 1999.

In 2011 the site was purchased by Joseph Schultz, owner of Schultz Development LLC, a Baltimore home and rehab company. In 2015, the building was purchased by Garver Development Group.
