The Baker Building Open House

On Wednesday, January 24 Christie and Michael Echols unveiled their latest development in downtown Monroe, The Baker Building. Christie has been working on renovating this space for months and unveiled it to the community with an open house featuring local art, as well as décor and designs from local shops. The building was formerly Bakers shoe store and now features two retail spaces on the first floor, with four luxury bedroom apartments on the second floor. On this night, art from Courtney Wetzel and Caroline Youngblood were on display in the downstairs space, accented with floral arrangements from FineFolks and sweet treats from Butter Bakery. Upstairs, local designers partnered with local stores to furnish and stage the apartments. Taylor Bennett partnered with Woodstock Furniture Revival, Sherri Mowad with Sleepy Hollow, Myron Griffing with Walsworth & Company and Brandi Howard and Heather Land with Material Things.
