259 – Renovations in the 400 Block of SW Washington
While running some errands, I looked at thought the windows of these buildings in the 400 block of SW Washington and saw the sky.
I drove around through the alley, correctly identified by David as the alley backing up to 401 Water Street and took the original photo and this other below. The entirety of the buildings have been gutted with the exception of the front facade which I imagine will be getting a nice face lift. I don’t know what the interior looked like previously, but it must have been bad.
It’s heartening to see more preservation and renovation going on in this area.

That’s just behind 401 Water on the alley… there’s a lot of deserted building work going on down there.

It looks like a scene from a movie where someone was just on the wrong end of a conversation and a gun.

I work in the building right next door to this. You can actually see my office building in the picture taken above. As a matter of fact it was VERY run down looking before this construction was done to it. They pulled old cars and everything out of it!
