The wood pedestrian walkway will come down soon, and a new wrought-iron fence will go up at the site of the May 2012 Whiskey Row fire.
Overturning a previous decision by the Prescott Preservation Commission, the Prescott City Council unanimously approved plans this week for installation of a new fence and landscaping at the site of three former Whiskey Row businesses.
That sets the stage for the removal of the temporary wood walkway that has straddled the Whiskey Row sidewalk for more that a year.
After fire destroyed the old Bird Cage Saloon, Pearl’s Place Café, and the Prescott Food Store nearly two years ago, property owners Howard and Nancy Hinson were left to deal with not only the burned out lot, but also the restoration of the smoke-damaged building next door.
