Current Events

I’ve always admired this little building from a distance and wondered what it could be used for. It is near a late night jazz club and a few doors up from German Motors on North Main. I believe the former tenant was Regal Reptiles, who moved over to the West End. Not sure what the price is, or what the deal with it is, but we’ll keep an eye on it and update this page when something comes up.

Anecdotes

Michael June 25 2008 This building appears to have been purchased recently. There is a dumpster out front and construction going on inside.

Jason Duclos This bldg. used to be a silversmith company Pilz Ltd. They manufactured many different items, including the Kentucky Derby Trophy. They went out of business in the late 1980’s; & the building sat vacant for years b4 Regal Reptiles moved in.
