Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust, a building is remodeled from rubble and rust

After a catastrophic structure fire on February 13, 2016, the Bruhn building located at 300 Main Street was ravaged by a fire that cost everything. The city was stripped of a historic building never the same again. With the forward thinking and insight of local developer, a new day has come. The building, formerly known as the Bruhn Building, would take on a new life and purpose. On October 25, 2022, the building passed a final inspection for the remodel adaptive re-use of a 3-story retail, restaurant, office, service business, and (11) one-bedroom units and (8) two-bedroom units, making it ready for occupancy.
The project was completed in early November and now awaits tenancy for both resident and retail alike.
