| The Westendorff, St. Philip St., Charleston, S.C. |
The Westendorff building has been empty as long as I remember it and it has seemed a shame. I took
pictures back in 2010 when there was talk of turning it into a hardware store themed restaurant but that never happened. This time it looks like it will be completed. I am sure construction is further along than when I took these pictures. I was fascinated by the writing on the walls that I had never noticed before. Can't wait to see what they do with it.
From Eater Charleston site: During the process of approvals and construction, owner of upcoming The Westendorff
(at 114 St. Philip St.) has had some time to think about his
establishment's concept. What started out as a diner-type eatery, will
now be a brunch every day place and switch into dinner service in the evenings.
At least there's some real progress now.
ReplyDeleteYes, it has been sad to see it empty all these years.
DeleteLooking forward to the upcoming progress reports, and I'm glad you photographed the old stencils before they're gone!
ReplyDeleteWell with wont have to worry because it turns out we will be allowed to keep the 1920s stenciling as is! After 5 years we are so excited to be approaching the end of the restoration....I think you will be very pleased with the result.... Thanks for the interest and support! Steven
DeleteThanks Steve! Glad to hear it. Can't wait to see what you do with the place.
