Benlin Building
The Benlin Distribution Services Complex, Mississippi (between
Perry Street and South Park Avenue), in the 1940's. It functioned
for decades as a warehouse/distribution center for several businesses. The architecture
is vernacular concrete and steel.
The same view in 2005. This entire side of Mississippi (from Perry to South
Park) has been purchased for redevelopment as a mix
of apartments, condominium, retail, restaurants, and office space. Savarino
Construction and Avalon Development are planning to
begin renovation on the first phase of the project in summer 2005.
