Description

“Draper Block” is an Iconic Image capturing a moment in time in Downtown Blacksburg History, and will be remembered as one of the few benefits of the nationwide and local quarantine and Social Distancing.  The time after the quarantine was lifted and the tents and closed-to-cars street remained, leading to the further improvements beginning this Spring will make Draper into more of a public park than street.

Stella Rose, the piano in the center under the tents, is the outdoor piano we upcycled from a Church in town that needed a home.  Rita recently added detail and color.

Here’s the location on Google Maps.
