Some walls have been shaved back since the last post. The area at the bottom of the stairs needed to be opened up visually and to provide easy access between the two sides of the first floor. The wall in the foreground on the right will also be moved back to the conduit you see running up the wall. That means this alcove will not be as deep. But this doorway is being changed to a fixed glass right behind the stone arch. That will leave room on the inside for a hostess station. Even though this beautiful tile is in perfect condition, it will be covered to make the floor level with the floor at the bottom of the stairs, Some battles you just can't win. This is taken from the front on the left side of the building. There is a hallway to a back exit with two bathrooms off this hallway. The plywood leaning against the studs is where the kitchen starts. It extends across the back to the east wall of the building. This is just a close up of the bat
