Built in 1937, this building at 817 N. 1st Street served as the final location for Merryman Funeral Home, built and owned by a woman, Holland Merryman. The two-year adaptive reuse process created a space reborn as Sin Muerte restaurant and now with a new tenant concept to be announced soon, plus plans for a rooftop speakeasy that will further enrich the arts district.
