During the Prohibition era, "business as usual" was frequently interrupted by unexpected raids. During those unwelcome forays by local law enforcement officials, gold mining clients apparently stashed their finds in available crevices throughout the building with the intention of returning for their wealth. In later years, lucky re-modelers found satchels of gold tucked away inside the walls.

In the 1940s the building housed the "Bluebird Cafe", which in addition to dining, provided the added benefit of young ladies available for 10 cents-a-dance.

Throughout all these incarnations, the upstairs continued to feature "Ladies of the Evening" until prostitution on the North Coast was officially outlawed in the 1950s. From that time until 1934, the upstairs remained vacant and unused. The Weaver Building was empty for much of the '60s and'70s until Old Town renovations began in 1976. After remodeling was completed, the "Waterfront Sandwich Shop" opened downstairs. During the 1980s, the ground floor was further expanded to its present full-service Cafe Waterfront Oyster Bar and Grill.

Renovations and remodeling began in earnest on the upstairs floor in 1992. The restoration project was completed in early 1993 care was taken to keep the integrity of the Queen Anne architecture. Door and window moldings, as well as additional woodwork, were restored and/or renewed by local crafts people to their oringinal itricate opulence.

The interior has been designed to recreate an air of Victorian elegance throughout , from foor treatment to wall coverings, from lighting to bath furnishings, from period furniture to brass accents. Modern touches, including cable television and a stereo system, have been unobtrusively incorporated. The result is a comfortable and beautiful set of suites available to overnight guests.
