Almost four years have passed since our landmark designation, but we finally have our plaque! It's a beaut, Clark! It's a beaut! 🥹

@ChrisTrottArt @EricAllixRogers Yes, many professionals have examined our exterior and pointed out the major items that need work. All pressing repairs have been made.

@ChrisTrottArt @mike_politics @EricAllixRogers What, you don't think a nice coat of charcoal gray paint would look great over that globe? 😆🚫

@mike_politics @EricAllixRogers @ChrisTrottArt We would never, ever paint it!!!!!

The fabulous Schlitz neon sign you see in the background was an alley find from a dear friend that we've had for years before we bought the tied house. Can't escape Schlitz in Chicago!

We recently unboxed the National Register of Historic Places plaque that will hang on the building and thought you might enjoy a sneak peak! In the next few weeks, we'll be sharing an update that will lay out where things stand with the building and our project.

A simple project, but it definitely made the old boarding house hallway look less murdery.

Here's a look at the process to restore just one original window. We're doing these types of jobs on our own, so they're a labor of love. We have to remove years of paint and grime to refurbish the original wood, hardware and glass. https://t.co/cowJ4YeVba

Exterior renovations begin soon!

Approved: an ordinance lifting the liquor sale moratorium at 94th/Ewing in East Side so that the historic Schlitz Tied House can reopen its bar. Background via @afrodip:

We sent our original sink from the small front bathroom to Ark Refinishing for refurbishing. How incredible are these before and after shots?

We received word from a neighbor that Frances Shirk passed away last week. Franny ran the tavern as the Bamboo Lounge for 40+ years and was beloved by her patrons and neighbors. In memory of her, here are a few pictures of her behind the bar sent to us by her friend Tom Reynolds.
