The front of the South Main Station Office then (1996) and now. It’s crazy to think how many times our corner of Gainesville has undergone a massive transformation. And we still have so much change to go.
Throwback to painting the logo on the doors!

Akira Wood’s got some brand new office door decals. Akira has been in this building since 1981! Thanks for making the doors look extra sharp.

Oh we miss you when you’re closed on Mondays. See you tomorrow for Live Bingo, bingo dogs, and beverages.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe it’s still the same space. The only thing that didn’t change was the awesome afternoon light. Well done!

It’s only Wednesday and we are thinking about Humble’ brunch again. Lucky for us their brunch service starts on Friday.

There are so many details to notice inside of . But some of our favorites are the ways that they have included original materials from the historic Baird Hardware building into their design. From repurposing the original floor beams, to the steel train rail footrest wrapping the whole bar, there is a lot to discover. We love seeing this blend of old and new. It is something we are dedicated to seeing a lot more of in the future as South Main Station evolves as a whole.

Look at these beauties. Our new landscaping is settling in so nicely.

Construction begins in earnest on our newest project this week. We have done a lot of dreaming, planning, and prepping for the outdoor space facing South Main Street and things are finally starting to happen. It will look a little lot worse before it looks better, but that’s just how these things go.
Pictured above are some renderings of the new space done by our very talented Architectural Landscaper who has been instrumental in helping us shape our vision of South Main Station’s outdoor spaces.
Also above is our newest paperweight, the railroad spike. We are finding them everywhere because this project is being created along the main line of what used to be the this building’s offshoot of the old railway. We are finding so many old things that we are hoping turn into cool new things. It’s a very exciting, if messy, time for us, and we hope you are excited too.

A little update to our parking map to include the two recently opened businesses on our property and
Guests are welcome to park anywhere on our property for any of our businesses ( and Akira Wood), with a couple exceptions marked by parking signs. Also included are street parking options for when all our parking is full.
With all the parking changes happening around Gainesville, we try to make it easy to get to any of our businesses!
Only a few more finishing touches and this corner of the property will be fully transformed.
Just in time for grand opening in April 28th!

We’re working on an exciting new outdoor space. But first we had to dig out all these old railroad ties. We found these, the rails and two pallets of bricks under our cement pad. We are going to repurpose as much of these materials as we can, and safely dispose of the rest. One of the many joys of renovating a historic property 🙃.
