Default The Friary - previously a nightclub ?

I was recently told that prior to being occupied by the Franciscan Brothers in the early 60s , the Friary building was an upmarket night club and restaurant , attracting the well to do from as far as Newcastle and Edinburgh . Having known it as a place of Christian retreat all my life , I was struck by the incongruity . Can anyone shed any light on this ?
