Building and Downtown History
Built in 1948 opened as a hardware store called West Hardware. For many years it was a hardware store, then over time it was home to a drapery/shade shop in the 70s and 80s, and then photography for many years.
The building has been given a complete restoration. The original maple hardwood floors are beautifully refinished, vintage lighting fixtures and other design elements are incorporated into a design that welcomes all types of events.
The outdoor facade has been completely renovated with new windows and cement board siding, along with 14 repurposed wood corbels for the top fascia. These brackets date from the 1870s and came off a commercial building about 17 years ago. They have been refinished and brought back to life in Trenton.
2 illuminated signs that were part of the buildings signage have been refitted with LED bulbs and new facing. We kept the font style in the 1940s era to pay tribute to the buildings origins.
