the test run and printed at its result
The century-room test fails, cleanly: no single room in New Carlisle has poured drinks across a century, or anything near it, in the record reached — the town's licensed life is too thin at every period this build documents (a saloon-less roll in 1916, no named Prohibition room, no post-Repeal bar roll recovered) for a hundred-year bar to hide in. The nearest form the record holds is the durable café, and the distinction is printed, not blurred: Miller's Home Café, whose building at 112 East Michigan now houses the town museum, and Moser's Austrian Cafe at 201 East Michigan, still serving in 2026 — rooms of a century's collective span that fed the town rather than watering it, told as businesses in the Businesses file. The town's one long-lived modern bar, Kate O'Connor's Irish Pub (2007– ), is nineteen years old as of November 2026: durable, and four-fifths of a century short of this row's test. The test prints as run: NEGATIVE, with the cafés named as the nearest form at their true class.
