There’s been a dramatic change of scenery around the historic Leeper Wyatt Building on South Boulevard. That scenery is about to change once more.
The structure was built in 1903 and began as a grocery store for the Atherton Mill and Dilworth communities. It’s now the oldest retail brick commercial building left in South End.
Tonidandel-Brown Restaurant Group—a local husband-wife owned restaurant team that owns and operates Haberdish, Supperland, Ever Andalo, Growlers Pourhouse, and Reigning Doughnuts, is leading a project to relocate the historic structure on Thursday, Sept. 12.
Relocate, as in, pick up the entire building and move it.
The building will move from 1923 South Blvd. and travel backwards, before turning into its new location on Cleveland Avenue.
While plans for the historic building are TBD, the restaurant group is rushing to finish Leluia Hall — which has offered its parking lot at 1829 Cleveland Ave. in order to accept the landmark next door. An opening date remains TBA.
