I was wondering if anyone knows, with all of the development going on, if Lena's will remain in tack? We don't have many original structures in town and I would like to know what the future holds for this building. I would like to see it possibly become a museum or information center for visitors to the many future amenities that AC is planning.

I am sure the developer will give you the building and you can move it somewhere to keep it for "historical significance". Otherwise, it will be bulldozed and a new structure will be built there.

Is that whole parcel (Lena's and homes) part of the Napa Junction Project?
Also, is the steel facility going to be removed?

As far as I am aware Lena's and the homes are not part of Napa Junction.
If I have read the plans correctly the project is in front of both the steel works and the houses.

I thought I read that the property at the corner of 29 and Eucalyptus has been purchased. The frontage ( architecture of the roof line ) has always caught my eye when coming over the hill, south. My understanding is that it use to be a train depot back when we were Napa Junction. I hope with the new developments popping up in town...someone will step forward in the planning department and try to save a couple of the historical buildings for future generations. If not the whole building maybe portions.
If you visit the mining towns in the Sierra Nevada, the ambiance is the history of the area that is so attractive. I hope we don't lose that to new strip malls or office complexes.

what corner of Eucalyptus?

Lena's is not for sale. The owner, Fred Negri will not sell the property or even keep it up. The house is not habitable, as it is full of black mold and also out of complience with the permit of use. It has been vacant for over a year. It is sad that this property cannot be improved by someone who would value the history of the building and the property.

JUst so you all know this is NOT the original Lena's as everyone thinks. The Original lena's use to be across the Railroad tracks and burned down in the late 30's. So as far as historical its kinda loss.
As far as moving the building,you better have the BEST masonary crew avaible. thats what it would take as far as moving the building Cinder block by Cinder BLOCK.
JUst some info for you all

Just curious...Does anyone know the oldest building still standing in AC?

The old Basalt plant (other wise known as the cement ruins) on the Eastside of Highway 29

Is Lena's for sale or not??? There is nothing in the windows or on the building but I thought an insider might know?

Lena's has been sold to Buzz Butler from Lakestreet Ventures. I heard he paid way too much for it but needed it for the rear entry to his project.
