While working on the walls of the lower level of the Lillian Street Studio Beth Rogers and I made an exciting discovery. We found some old casework and drawers that had been walled over! We had been working on the studio renovation for a year and a half and somehow hadn't noticed that there was unaccounted for space under the upper cabinets. You can see the area in the far right of the photo below.

| Look to the far right where tools and lumber are propped in the corner. |
We took a prybar to the area and found this.
 |
| The framing is still in place but you can see the drawers and casework that had been closed off for years. |
We then noticed that there was space above the upper cabinets so we opened that up and removed the cabinet doors. It was a very exciting find! The mystery is why it had been walled off.
 |
| In this photo the drawers have been temporarily removed to let everything air out. |
Other things are happening at the studio as well.
 |
| Ceiling lights have been hung |
 |
| Drywall is up and primed on the main work level. |
 |
| Wev'e begun framing work benches. |

Secret places! Yes it makes you wonder why it was walled up. Maybe the person wanted to have more of a finished look instead of all the shelve spaces giving it a more kitchen look, but for a studio...perfect!
