Beautiful property with amazing owners that care about and support local non-profits. Can't wait to see how they remodel & what they do with the space!

Very excited to learn what the plan is for this place. So happy to hear that the historic significance will be preserved. Wonderful tour truly informative. This is a very special pearl for our city. The opportunity to see this was based off of an invitation for a few showings to the public while the building is being worked on. I don't believe current tours other than these invites are open to the general public yet because there's no power or water to the building right now. Great things in the works to come!

My Dad passed away on September 30, 2019. We paid in full for the month of a October, and we got a partial refund ...why? Your didn’t take care of him in October. And it took 45 days to receive the partial refund...please advise! You kept almost $600 of the refund that should of been sent back to me. I‘ll be happy to write a great review if I can get the rest of my money.
