Here’s the answer to last week’s “Where.”
Last week’s shot was a nighttime close-up photo of the illuminated clock on the corner of the Anderson Building at 200 Monmouth Street.
The Anderson Building is one of the most shining examples of adaptive re-use in a town where developers increasingly seem to prefer bulldozing old gems to rehabbing them. If you read these pages, you know all about the building and its history.
An August, 2020 redbankgreen article included an interview with developer Chris Cole, who spearheaded the rehabilitation and rebirth of the building.
“A red brick fortress constructed at the corner of Monmouth Street and Bridge Avenue in 1909, the Anderson warehouse had been vacant for an estimated 25 years by the time Cole acquired it for Metrovation in late 2006. Its roof had begun to collapse.
What attracted him? “I just liked the charm of it,” said Cole, a 54-year-old Fair Haven resident. “There’s always a feel to these things, and I thought we could do something interesting with it.”
Now home to Anderson Market, several offices, a salon and a yoga studio, the building continues evolution this week with the opening of The Lobby Bar, a hi-fi vinyl listening bar that runs a juice and smoothie counter by day and turns into a cocktail bar by night, and Studio Omakase, a 14-seat chef’s counter from Chef Steven Wong serving a 12-course tasting menu.
More to come on those developments right here at redbankgreen in the coming days.
