Punch Bowl Deconstruction


FINALLY!!! The space is being deconstructed and the demolition work has started. I tend to like seeing the space transformed from whatever the occupant was before, to a raw shell space ready for the new life. There is plenty of history with this location and I will detail in depth in the near future as the dust settles. Most of the historic images found for the location are of the east side of the street showing the current Hornet and Mayan Theater, but we found one image of the old Millers Grocery Store that is pretty cool. We will be attempting to bring the building back to the original brick facade that a Big Lots tenant had covered with a metal skin.
