This spring, Hagen paid $195,000 to purchase the former Sophia's Tavern, located at 514 Cherry St. The tavern, housed in a two-story brick building that was built in 1908, closed its doors in 2019.
Hagen, who has been working with Erie architect Jeff Kidder, who specializes in historic preservation, has completed work on eight restoration projects, including two historic storefronts on State Street.
