Store Interior Renovation



Earlier this week I posted a photo of the exterior back of the store. Today, I've included two photos of the front half interior of the store - one taken in September when the plaster still covered the bricks. The other photo was taken earlier this morning. It shows the progress. Plaster has been removed and openings have been created to the back half of the store. You'll notice that we're trying to salvage as much original material as possible including the pile of bricks and wooden beams on the floor.

The cast iron bathtub came from an upper floor and was in one of the guests rooms when the building served as a hotel and later as apartments. We're not sure if we'll have a use for it. Unless someone wants to wash up after coming off the river, though privacy may be an issue. Who knows!
