Yesterday we noticed a green construction shed and a sign proclaiming a brick oven pizza place coming to the old Robin des Bois space at 195 Smith Street, but a little research quickly revealed the sign has been up since 2012!
The longtime owner of the building (not a restaurateur) is busy adding an extension to the rear on the ground floor where the garden used to be, renovating the interior, and changing the two apartments upstairs into four, according to a permit that was issued in February.

Sad what happened to that building. They destroyed it. A bad harbinger of things to come on Smith. . . . Too bad the block is not landmarked.
