The development will be called Highlands Row. The original building was built by a man named Hutsell in the early '30s and operated as the Highlands Grill for about 30 years. The main dining room featured heart oak floors, a huge fireplace on the north side, and cathedral ceilings. If Hutsell knew you, he would allow you to descend the stairs after dinner to go to a speakeasy that featured a dance floor, band, and last but not least bootleg whisky. His brother ran the drive-in next door. We will be leasing to upscale retail tenants from 1250-11,400 sf.
