The building at 8136 Ardleigh St., the former site of Cafette, has been demolished.
Jan Wilson, who owned Cafette, closed the restaurant in September 2013 after 21 years to pursue a career in acupuncture. The building functioned as a temporary clinic for Wilson's practice before she vacated the premises earlier this year.
The lot is now vacant, surrounded by a chain-link fence and tarp. On the grounds sit a dumpster and a portable toilet. Multiple permits and forms are attached to the fence, sparking the curiosity of neighbors eager to discover what will become of the property.
A zoning permit was issued in July to the new property owner, Quantum Partners LLC. The permit is for “the complete demolition of an existing semi-detached structure and the relocation of lot lines to create three (3) lots from one existing lot.” The property's current zoning allows for RSA5, residential and mixed-use occupancy. A posted building permit was issued to Ardleigh Street Properties LLC.
At this time there is no information about future plans.
