In Queen Village

When we last checked in on the corner of 4th & Fitzwater, new construction at the southwest corner was approaching completion. Remember, the building that once stood here burned in the spring of 2013, leading to its demolition. While its replacement was under construction, Jack B. Fabrics moved to the 743 S.

The warehouse at 112-20 Christian St. that was once home to the Scandinavian Shipping Supply Co. is no more. In its place, a vacant lot. But not for long. Back in the fall of 2013, we told you about plans for the demolition of the building and plans to replace it with

Last year, a fire ravaged Jack B. Fabrics at 748 S. 4th St. on Fabric Row. When we last visited the property in April, a new building was being framed out, replacing the demolished structure. When we passed by the other day, the exterior looked nearly complete.Before the fireCurrent viewOnce it's finished, the new

A couple years ago, we told you about the Spafford House at Front & Bainbridge in Queen Village, noting that it was vacant and available for sale. The building was constructed in 1762 according to QVNA, and was originally home to William Spafford, who made his living as a sea
