CROWN POINT â A historic building s facade is set to be removed after engineers deemed it unsafe.Â
During a Monday Crown Point Historic Plan Commission meeting, Bryan Van Ryn, representing Duckit CRE, LLC, shared plans for 208 S. Main St., the former location of Antiques on Main. Due to the structural aspects and the existing building and the substructure of that wall, the report was given by the structural engineer that it s really not in a safe condition to restore, Van Ryn said.Â
Van Ryn said Duckit CRE is looking to construct a new facade and emulate what was there, noting a restaurant with a possible rooftop garden is proposed for the space.Â
CROWN POINT â Two buildings around the square will soon have minor exterior improvements made.Â
During a recent Crown Point Historic Preservation Commission meeting via Zoom, commissioners heard from two petitioners seeking approval for exterior projects.Â
The first proposal came from Matt Doran, co-owner of True BBQ & Whiskey Bar at 116. N. Main St., seeking to install exterior up lighting. We re having a hard time. It s just so dark in our corner. We don t have any street lighting like some of the other places do in front, it s just dark, Doran said. Our sign doesn t illuminate. So we re just looking to put those thin, long LED strip lights above our awning to shine upward towards our signage.
