  • Little note for everyone; the property you are viewing in this photo is near the corner of Liberty and Washington, and in serious danger. Nearby at Cafe’ Macchiato, A photo on the wall shows this property in its former glory, resplendent in its café curtains and mom-&-pop storefront. Today, the property is hollow and in serious danger of collapse. I would hate to see it torn down, but understand that the property may be cost-ineffective to restore. The future of this particular site should be interesting to watch.

    • Pauly, you can see an original image of the building on this site here. It suffered a fire, you can see the newspaper article here. Rumors are that this is to be the first passive house in the HV. Plans are still in the works for it as far as I know, but I have not been told anything concrete, so I refrain from posting about it.
