As mentioned in yesterday's squint shot, it was time to move on from the Harmon building. Over the last couple of weeks, I have shown pictures of the second and third floors of this building that has stood since the 1890s. Head back and browse a bit -- interesting stuff. But, as I said, let's head to another building. Last fall, Ron Daly of The Decorating Center announced he was closing after 28 years in business in the downtown area. It was hard to see him close his store, but he is still around and still designing. But more on that in another post.
Today's squint shot is about the future of this storefront. And, I for one, believe it is very exciting. Sometime this summer, Maria's School of Dance will have their grand opening in this location. But that is after a lot of sweat, muscle, and remodeling. For now, the new owners and their workers are chiseling off drywall and plaster, exposing the original brick walls on the first floor. They are taking down partitions, redoing floors, and discovering all sorts of interesting things about this very old building. Thanks to one of the owners, Carrie, I have been given access to wander around and photograph to my heart's content. Over the next week or so, squint shots will show what interested me the most.
