[slideshow_deploy id='1492'] Renovation continues this week as workers poured concrete around the new floor drains. It's really starting to come together!

Welcome to Vanellis Bistro! The Bistro is the third incarnation of Vanelli's Greek and Italian Restaurant, and will be opening in historic Downtown Tupelo this spring!

Today workers are hooking the Bistro plumbing into city water. [slideshow_deploy id='1463']

As workers continue to remove pieces of the original Bistro floor to add drainage, the coal dust foundation from the 1890's is exposed. Builders at the time used coal dust from the railroads for foundations since the earth was hard clay. [slideshow_deploy id='1460']

Here are a few photos from last week as the workers cut out the original concrete floor, exposing the 120-year-old dirt beneath, so new floor drains can be installed. [slideshow_deploy id='1438']

The crew is working hard today repairing and re-covering the 100-year-old pine roof. [slideshow_deploy id='1434']
