Oh my poor stained glass windows! The West side is in bad shape. I'm lucky to have my contractors involved. Everyone is dedicated to making this project work through all of the ups and downs.

The historic windows have been meticulously removed one bay at a time by Nor'wood Custom Glass, securely packaged, and now transported back to their glass studio.

Our heartfelt thanks to Stan Sabick of Norwood Custom Glass, located at 511 2nd Street in Aurora Indiana. His artistic work is nothing short of amazing so give the studio a call for your stained glass needs! 812-655-9228 | norwoodcustomglass.com

This was a BIG week. BIG.

We were unanimously approved for both OAQDA and PACE through the City Council.

I've never been involved in any sort of tax abatement project. Getting financial assistance through tax abatement and loans have truly made this project possible. And I have never sat through an entire City Council meeting. I am amazed at the work they do and the tough decisions they need to make.

Thank you for those of you that support these programs. They are an important part of bringing our historic buildings back to life.
