Chumley's Chimney and Related Issues

Chumley's, the West Village landmark, may see the light of day in a few months time. The chimney that collapsed causing the building to be shut down, is being dismantled and the building stabilized.

I passed by the building on Thursday and saw that workers had installed interior bracing through the structure and a large dumpster had been placed outside to collect debris from the site.

Also, it is important to note that there was a sign on the street shed noting that the owners are looking to sell the building. I should have some photos of the site next week.

UPDATE:
There's a Save Chumley's website that promises to keep folks up to date on the progress of reopening the former speakeasy and literary haunt.
