Nice. I'm a little surprised how much they're doing to the front between the bricks and redoing the entryway. Looks like it'll be cool.

Now if only we could get the Sax Seafood building onto the tax rolls...

Are they renovating the Fire Station? I thought I read they would demolish it and rebuild there. If they are renovating I'm pleasantly surprised.

Overall I'm happy to see this and wish her well - the design is great and I can't find anything to complain about even if I wanted to complain about it - excellent use of roll-up doors (I imagine the building had two roll-ups at one point), and it looks like she's either doing a wood burning oven or something as there's a couple references to access for wood storage.

Only concern is the location is a little isolated, though it has potential as an after-work place for the courthouse staff.

I wonder if there is selective demo and rebuild involved? The proposed front facade does not match the existing.

Windows are all in the same place on the second story.  I wonder if they plan to remove all of that stucco and this rendering I'd what they're hoping to uncover(ish).

The windows seem a little off (the borders between the middle ones), but I'll chalk that up to rendering.

Yes, the windows in the center of the second floor are different from what's there today and the bell tower is different as well. So either the rendering is slightly off or that's a new facade.

I thought I remembered an earlier article saying it would have to be complete tear-down, due to the poor structural condition.
