Open Lot History


We received this photo via email from someone who loves the architecture in Lafayette Square. It was taken about a year ago, but looks like a photo from someone's family album-total early eighties tint. Our building looks the same today, minus the no parking sign. This building has been a stable, a bakery, a photography studio.

Previous owners had a vintage hardtop convertible they used to house in the garage-which is now our gallery area/project space. The hardtop was lowered and raised onto their ride via a pulley system still visible in the rafters of our main space.

Now the yeast factory houses Open Lot headquarters. Tune in next week for some renovation pictures...and a sneak preview for our opening on Friday, which is a return from Open Lot's winter hibernation. Even bearstronauts like ourselves need a break now and then.
