This lovely little building was home to Caffe Roma – a favourite brunch location of mine back in the day. The building has been rescued, and just recently the cover that was on the outside of the building was removed – so we can all see how shiny and new it’s now looking. It will be interesting to see the new life it has  – I’m not sure when the renovation will be completed, but I’m certainly excited about this one.

    How nice to learn from Michelle that this building was not demolished as had been considered .
    And what a dump it had been post-earthquake :

    Hi Ray, yes it was being horrible mistreated after the earthquakes. I’m not sure if the video you posted is related though? Though I have watched it and found it interested, even if the topic was dull 🙂
