It is not believable that this house has structural issues sufficient to justify a demo. 

Me thinks they are going to subdivide the lot.

If they're destroyed the house, they may as well grant the city the density and subdivide. It's a shame that there's not many grand old homes like this left along Augusta.

They aren't going to subdivide.

Augusta Street Fire Station

Nice design for the new station.  The old one must be kept for at least 10 years. It will be interesting to see what the new owner does with it.

Thanks for sharing.  It seems odd that the old fire station must be kept for 10 years.  I wonder why that would be required.  I’d think that a buyer of the site would want to tear it down and build something new.

It's a shame that they can't force it to be kept longer, IMO.

Its not odd, the city thinks the building is part of the character of the area and while they can not use it they want to see the building remain.  I bet it becomes a restaurant or bar.

Why would they only require it to stay for 10 years though? I like the building and it's character too. I would like for it to stay. But the 10 year requirement has me puzzled.

Well, it didn't prevent them securing a buyer; though I wonder how such a restriction affected the price.

Maybe the station still has it's fireman's poles--a gimmick some tenant could make use of...maybe...or maybe not.

Wasn't the station part of a land-swap? The owner of the property where the new station is being built  probably wouldn't have agreed to the deal if they had to maintain the old station in perpetuity.

Augusta Row townhouses FB

Augusta Row

27 units from the mid 500's. 

-----

BTW, the house/office  at  501 Augusta (corner of Augusta and  Claussen has been demolished.  The owner also owns the adjoining properties at 503 Augusta and 8 Claussen. Each of those two have a house on them and they appear to be vacant.    

There has also been some clearing of the Stone property between Augusta and Church St.

It's nice to see this moving forward! Getting into this area pre-County Square redevelopment seems like a smart move for potential buyers. I'm still not in love with the design, but it's a great site plan-- which ultimately matters more.

Saluda River, the pet food store near Lewis Plaza, seems to have closed- anyone know why?  This has caused great anguish at home.

[btoy]

This has been long planned.  Those buildings are be redeveloped.  Original plans were Chick Fil A, not it will be something multi-tenant.

I noticed some surveyors at the old Saluda River Pet Food site at the corner of Augusta and Conestee this morning.  Anyone have any idea if something new is brewing over there or if the Chikfila proposal is getting resurrected?

Too bad they didn't allow that Chickfila with a drive thru since drive thru is basically all you can do right now.  They may want to reconsider.
