New owners could mean new life for an old and historic downtown Danbury building. The first floor of the former Meeker’s Hardware store on White Street could be transformed into a dancehall if a businessman who bought the building gets his wish. The building dates back to 1897, and it’s currently the only former hardware store that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. If the plans come together, it would then become the only dance hall located in a former hardware store on the national register. Initial plans have already been approved by the city’s Planning and Zoning Department, but a permit to sell alcohol is still needed. The zoning Commission has scheduled a public hearing on April 11th to address that issue.
