We have broken ground on our new office! The existing building is 4 levels when including the basement. This 100 year old building is getting ready for it's next phase: A dental office. It was a home originally to the Kochs (rhymes with "Cokes"). Mr. Koch ran the mill for the Riordans. It then spent many years as the home to the Bledsoe's, a family of 5. The maid lived downstairs. There were also slot machines and poker in the basement! (The basement will have a slightly less exciting use as a residential apartment when the remodel is finished) The house was then transformed into a frat house. One can just imagine all the stories there. It was later the law office of Hufford and Horstman. The attic was remodeled into a very attractive business area with fantastic views. It was later sold to 2 lawyers and a contractor from whom Dr. Bacon purchased the building in 2014.
The basement and the first floor will be extended southward to allow for
modern dental operatories on the first floor and an as a yet to be determined business below it. The original basement is being remodeled for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment. The original first floor will be the reception area, waiting room, staff room and laboratory for Dr. Bacons dental practice.
The second floor, which used to be the bedrooms for the Bledsoe family, is office space for 3 Flagstaff businesses. The attic is currently an engineering firm. Lastly, the Carriage house will be converted into a cute Studio Apartment.
There will be 22 parking spots behind the new office as well as on street parking. (Good luck with that). We are hoping to be up and running in March!
