Location: 316 West Main Street, Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Project Delivery: Design-Build
Project Scope: Major interior renovations and exterior facelift
310 West Main, a commanding brick building constructed in 1925, has become a local landmark and highly regarded presence in Murfreesboro’s central business district. The expansive 11,800-square-foot space is now a thoroughly renovated building. Improvements, which included both an interior rehabilitation and an exterior facelift, are drawing kudos from the public.
All renovations are full of size surprises and so was this one. A large portion of the roof deck had to be replaced and demolition was extensive and dangerous. Obtaining the necessary building permits required numerous meetings and discussions with City Hall. Budgeting was another challenge—the project was very difficult to estimate because of the unusual and pre-existing conditions.
Despite these obstacles, the supervisory skills of Dow Smith Company Operations Director Gary Grisham kept the project work safe, productive, and on schedule.
We recently completed work on 1 of 19 Cocktails and Raw Bar. The new bar and restaurant, located at 103 N. Maple Street in Murfreesboro, is open now. 1 of 19 is owned by Shawn and Christy Hackinson, the owners of the popular downtown Murfreesboro restaurant The Alley on Main. The Alley on Main is known for its steak, seafood, and scratch-made pasta dishes.
When the Hackinsons decided to open a cocktail bar around the corner from The Alley on Main, they knew exactly who to call.
