SPEZIA SQUARE

This is one of our projects that we have decided to take on and create a park. There once was a historical building that was torn down and this actually started the PRIDE SOCIETY. This is a non-profit organization to help preserve the remaining old historical buildings in our town for restoration. We have designed a three phase plan to include brick flowerbeds (from old brick that we have cleaned,) trees, and picturesque cover against the building. This will include false storefronts, a covered plank board sidewalk and antique lamp posts for lighting. Phase one was completed in time for the All School Reunion in 2003. The picture shows the old western theme with porch and hanging baskets. The brick flower beds, tree, clock, lamp and picnic tables really makes a nice setting. The old fashion girl in the upper window and the front of the building with false store fronts really set it off.

Phase 2 will be to complete the back of the building (picture bottom left). As of 2008 the  trees, grass, gazebo and the Opera Stage have been completed. The walls have false western store fronts along with the jail.
