Merkel X-ray Building

See the Fassler Hall/Dust Bowl thread. It is at 10th and Hudson.

Right. I thought FHDB was just a beer garden. I was talking to brother LaFuente yesterday and I mentioned FH but he thought bowling alley was a separate project. Glad to know I knew that I was correct.

The bowling alley is Dust Bowl, the beer garden is Fassler Hall.

Something happening at this site today, although it's probably just investigation or repair, as they have yet to submit the design application.

Thanks to Urban Pioneer for the photo:

All of the plywood windows on the north side have been replaced with brand new see through glass models as of last week. It is already a huge improvement.

I know very little about the history of this building...but I am very curious if anyone knows...when the newer addition was built, why was there no effort by the owners to at least try a little to match the brick?

Any updates on this? Perhaps pictures?

Thanks to warreng88 for this; don't know if they still plan to paint this whole building:

This building is now for sale.

The owners of LaFuente Prosthetics pleaded no contest to fraud and two of them were sentenced to deferred sentences and stiff fines.

Don't know if the sale was prompted by that and I believe LaFuente is still operating out of this location.
