Building

 

David Matthews, developer of East Bank Town Homes just west of Fire Arts, generously helped us with a matching Façade Grant from DTSB. We have replaced windows in the showroom, installed new signs, new lights, a new mural painted by Dave Blodgett and Linda Crimson on the west side of the building, where the old Fire Arts sign was, and more.
We hope to see you soon.
