We’ve come a long way, baby. Over a year has passed since we first purchased the building, and it has been an amazing journey to uncover its history and original beauty. We have learned that the building was used as a taxi garage at one time, as well as a service shop for Sears & Roebuck for sewing machines and later automobiles. Renovations in the 1950’s made significant changes to the building that weren’t in keeping with its historic character, so we’ve peeled back those layers to uncover the original structure. The existing elevator was not able to be repaired, so we’ve installed a brand new elevator, as well as a second interior stair. The plan for the first floor is to create a community of retail shops and restaurants featuring local artists, artisans, craftspeople and specialty food and drink products to showcase Huntington’s local food and art scene. The upper levels can be built out as open, flexible office space for shared use, as dedicated office space, or even for specialty services like a spa! As the owners of the building, we are a professional architect and contractor, so we’re able to design construct the space to create the space that reflects your vision for your business. We are looking forward to working with businesses as you become a part of the story of the Progress Building!
