Custom Furniture Store Opens On Clark

Hollenberg & Co., who restore and restyle furniture and fixtures into custom pieces, has opened at 4609 North Clark, a few doors north of Wilson and across from the Staples strip mall.  Opening Day was Friday, October 4th, and the store is open 10am-6pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

A reader says, "Really cool refinished and reclaimed furniture pieces."  A quick look at Hollenberg & Co.'s Facebook page shows mid-century pieces refreshed into something a little more modern, and old church windows awaiting a metamorphosis.

There will be a "Halloween Bash Grand Opening" on Friday, November 1.  Welcome to the neighborhood, Hollenberg & Co.!  We wish you much success here.

UU Note:  Our reader tells us she's heard there's been some interest in converting the long-empty Heidelmeier building at 4611 N Clark, right next door, into a gym.  Seems like a good use of space to us.  As someone researched a couple years ago, that building has been around since 1905 and was built to be a "steam heated garage and repair shop."  We imagine its architects might enjoy that body work of a different sort might be going on in the same location 108 years later.
