The Foundation will be first

As we get closer to our benefit date of February 4th, 2012, we are working to plan our renovations to save this building. Here are more pictures:

We want the first project to be to level the foundations so we will be working with an expert foundation guy from Mobile who has worked on many old homes there and knows exactly what to do.

We would love to invite you all to attend our Old Loxley Hotel benefit on February 4th from 5pm to 9pm at the Loxley Civic Center.  More info to come.
