The day I got the keys vs now!
It’s kind of wild to look at these photos now and remember what this place looked like when I first walked in.
Before Nuestra, there was just an old building, a lot of work to do, and probably a slightly questionable amount of optimism on my part.
For the next two ish years with help I slowly brought it back to life. I did my best to keep the parts that gave it character, changing the parts that needed changing, and trying to respect the history that was already here.
This building has been around since the late ’40s. It was an auto body shop, then a few different things over the years, and has a quite a few stories of its own… some more believable than others.
Now it’s Nuestra!
Still the same old bones, just a very different life.
