Sound the Alarm: Brewery Planned for Historic Firehouse

An investment group is aiming to operate a brewery and restaurant in a former fire house at 310 Jersey Street. Project X Holdings LLC purchased the property last February for $435,000. A previous owner had plans to convert the 12,400 sq.ft. building to apartments but did not follow through.

Anne Dafchik is the architect/agent representing the group. They need an adaptive reuse permit to operate a restaurant in the 2R zoning district. Plans also call for a studio apartment, one-story addition to the rear, façade alterations, and addition of an outdoor dining patio in front of the 12,400 sq.ft. building.
