Construction/renovation at Living Stones at Front & Locust is proceeding apace.
Living Stones recently received approval for these alterations:
"The existing interior will be completely renovated with the addition of a second floor on the remaining concrete masonry unit structure. With the addition of the second floor, a new deck will be constructed over the new front entrance. The exterior of the building will include stone that will be manufactured in house by Living Stones. The color will be a white ledgestone pattern with black trim to match the Coffee and Cream Café. The exterior of the building will include a light grey color, with black gutters and downspouts. The interior remodel will include all new drywall, insulation, carpet, bathroom tile and light fixtures." [HARB Agenda, March 9, 2022]
