A LONG + VARIED HISTORY

The first permit for the lot was pulled on April 1st, 1901 by Conrad Bristle for a two story structure. Bristle would go on to build 7 other such structures on the street resulting in a total of 8 two flats in a row, only two of which still remain to this day. In 1921 a second permit was issued for a structure on the rear of the lot which is listed as a tin shop on a 1928 Sanborn fire insurance company map. At some point in time the front two flat was demolished and the rear property was expanded, ultimately operating as an auto repair business from 1977-2015. On October 15th, 2015, the building was purchased and design work commenced. The Lytle House underwent a complete renovation beginning in June of 2016 and lasting almost an entire year. The resulting space features 1300 square feet of exposed brick walls and concrete floors connected to a 65' deep courtyard by a fully functional garage door.
