My Opera1212 Ninth Bought
Friday, June 27, 2008 3:07:55 PM
Hanny Chan, of Old Dominion Brewery, has purchased the 1212 Ninth Street lot from Selp Help, who got it from Walnut Street Development, who got it from Phillip Abraham, who had it for a very long time.
In 1978, the editor recalls three small townhouses there (three lots). They had recently been inhabited, but not then, and there was some discussion of the owners, wherever, having died and it was in probate, etc. Shortly the houses had the occasional fire from inexperienced or stoned people cooking crack, and soon they were leveled. Since then it has been vacant, except for parking cars. (And, back when, duct tape wrapped bodies. But they were killed elsewhere, so I don't think it counted against the neighborhood.)
Hanny has no immediate plans, but will not use the old Walnut Street drawings as a base. 18 parking places, though.
More to come. And good luck Hanny.
