Last week we approved having the stucco and concrete removed from the front of the building. Why you ask? We are applying for historical tax credits with the State of Missouri and they need to see the original front of our building. After weeks of searching for pictures, it was decided that the only way to proceed was to remove the current front of the building.
With an architect and an environmental/redeveloper involved, we hoped to smoothly glide through this process. Unfortunately, today the Building Inspector came by and issued a stop work order due to a building permit not being obtained. I am reassured that this will be taken care of, but know this is only the beginnings of a long road to redoing our building into a magnificent property.
