Developer outlines restoration plans for 229 South Main Street
Summary
A small-scale developer described plans to renovate the historic Gottlieb Schlegel bakery at 229 South Main Street—tuckpointing, facade repairs and new windows—with upstairs housing and commercial space; he invited potential tenants.
A developer presenting to the BID said he purchased the Gottlieb Schlegel bakery building at 229 South Main Street on June 1 and is starting restoration work focused on structural and historic details. He described immediate work including tuckpointing, parapet flashing, restoration of decorative facade elements and painting; he said windows were to be delivered that day. "So as of June 1, I own the building over at 229 South Main Street," the presenter said, describing the project schedule and coordination with city department staff.
The presenter said the upstairs will be a one-bedroom residential unit and roughly 1,500 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor and invited board members to refer potential tenants. He said he has experience rehabilitating historic properties and plans to pursue historic-register listing as part of the restoration process. Board members thanked him and offered follow-up support from staff where possible.
