Nov. 15, 2014 - And the renovated version, completed in spring 2013. This is the southeast corner, with bright orange umbrellas marking the space where Osteria Morini opened in November, 2013.
May 26, 2016 - The Shed's southern face, with Agua 301, Whaley's, and Osteria Morini all open for business.
Sept. 28, 2014 - The northeast corner, with Ice Cream Jubilee having moved into the corner space in July, 2014..
Aug. 14, 2015 - A picture taken a few hours before southern-food restaurant Due South opened in the northwest corner of the Lumber Shed.
Aug. 14, 2015 - Due South's interior a few hours before opening (hence the stuff still lying around).
