Take a step back in time..........

The primary purpose of the renovation of this magnificent building is to promote and preserve the history of the 1920's, 30's and 40's......

The Strawberry Festival is this weekend---April 13 and 14th in

Loxley Alabama.... 

Come join us there from 9am to 5pm at the Loxley Civic Center Park.

See link above!!!

The Old Loxley Hotel will be at booth #10--

Week of April 8th

We have started back in to finish the exterior of the hotel....
The South side of the building was in great need of repair in a hurry.  We were finally able to start and found something wonderful......



















Here the south side porch had layers of wall coverings and needed to be pulled away.....the great find we saw was that there were TWO layers of siding underneath!!!

If anyone has ever tried to match wooden siding on an old house then you will know how hard it is to find a match......









But as you can see on the picture to the left--there are two layers that we can use.  The original siding in off white and the other layer on top which will be used for the rest of the house.  We have a whole side wall full!!!  So exciting......







Here the wrap around porch is finally seen as it was originally in the top picture.  So exciting to see the progress....
