Getting Noticed

The closer we get, the more people are noticing what we are doing. This past week we had some members of Cleburne City Council walk through. The local newspaper did a story on our transformation. And numerous people have been posting on Facebook our status.

Here is the link to the story.

Now it’s a mad rush to get the building ready. Some photos of this week’s progress:

Restoring an antique display rack. From what we have found, it was used to display small parts when the building was home to the American Dry Goods Store in the 1920’s. We are planning on using it as a coffee bar upstairs.

The end is in sight and we will be moving in before the end of the year. 2 1/2 years in the making!!!!

Getting Closer

We are getting closer. They finished painting the front and west sides of the building.UNADJUSTEDNONRAW thumb 3219UNADJUSTEDNONRAW thumb 3229

They started framing of the 2nd floor windows. When we installed the new windows they temporary installed them to dry in the building. Now they are finishing the installation.

Finally framing is almost complete. Here is the rotating door to the closet. We salvaged it from the building when there was a photography business upstairs and they had a dark room door.
