Bowling Alley


This is one of the many contributions from our architect, Nick Dryden. He made this counter top out of reclaimed bowling alley wood from Melrose Lanes. This is the coffee bar.

Canopies on the North End are built, and parking lot lights are installed. Landscaping on the South End is starting to be planted.

HVAC




Most all of the spiral duct work is installed. The supply and return ducts in the basement are massive! View down the hall is looking down Back Street.

Stone Wall - Parking Area



The North Parking lot required a few retaining walls. The "cut" walls were built with the old stones that once supported the building foundation. During renovation, several piers had to be replaced mostly due to water damage. Once the foundation dirt was removed, it was discovered that the piers were supported on poured concrete footings (thankfully...), but they had also intermittently supported the structure with these stones. Most had rolled away from the structure and were loose in the basement. They were cleaned out as repairs were made. Instead of hauling them to the dump, they were reused to create retaining walls. Great work from our stone mason!

North Side Progress


Starting to see the North End come to life. Here's a progress shot, before and...nearly... after....
