100 year old building in Elgin, Texas demolished.

The 100 year old building in Elgin, Texas of what was once a Thai food restaurant called Katie's Catering Thai Cuisine was demolished on March 2, 2021. Cleanup and restoration has begun.The removal and stabilization of this building has been leveled. Only the concrete floor remains in tact.

Katie's Catering Thai Cuisine operated at the corner of Avenue B & Central Avenue from 2010 to 2017 until Hurricane Harvey destroyed the building.

Hurricane Harvey destroyed the roof a 100 year old building located at 217 Central Avenue in Elgin, Texas and has destroyed the interior structure of the building in 2017. The roof has collapsed from destruction of wind currents during Hurricane Harvey. The roof was completely missing. The building was a former shell of what it once was before Hurricane Harvey weather hit the small town of Elgin, Texas.

POLLEN ARCHITECTURE is planned on turning this 100 year old building into a new vision in 2018. However more work needed to be done to get completed. Cleanup and restoration had begun. The walls have been re-installed and re-plastered during the close of 2017. A chain link fence has been installed up front facing the perimeter of Central Avenue securing surrounding property. Pier structures for the roof have been installed to support the new roof. The removal and stabilization alone was estimated to be a total cost of $6,000. Possibly $8,000 including fees. A GoFundMe page was been set up to revitalize the building that was once a Thai food restaurant.

Process was being made to restore the 100 year old building in Elgin, Texas in 2018. All the building needs is a new roof. However there not enough funding needed to restore this building. So POLLEN ARCHITECTURE had the building demolished in 2021.
