It appears that there may be restoration of the burned buildings on Front Street that once housed Mayeaux’s Steak House and All Tangled Up Salon. According to the building permits issued during March, Pierson Realty obtained permits for building the exterior shell, or back wall, and dividing wall between 512 and 516 Front.
A permit with a valuation of $297,000 was obtained for 512 that housed Mayeaux’s Steak House. A permit with a valuation of $242,972 was obtained for 516 that housed the salon.
The realty company also obtained a permit with a valuation of $27,680 for a roof at 522, formerly Hello Dolly’s. The realty company also obtained a permit with a valuation of $49,900 for a townhouse at 520 Front St.
The interiors of the steak house and salon were destroyed and the townhouse was damaged by fire April 30, 2020. Clay Mayeaux, owner of the steak house, said he is anxiously waiting for construction to begin since the restaurant closed nearly a year ago. He has ordered equipment such as light fixtures, neon lighting, booths, tables and chairs. The new bar will seat 20 people. He will expand next door where the Bathhouse Soapery & Caldarium was located.
The menu will be similar to the original one featuring prime steaks and many previous favorites. He is adding “to-go” items such as meat pies, boudin, gumbo, etouffee and more. Those permits were part of the March report from Director of City Planning and Zoning Shontrell Roque.
The department issued 61 permits with a valuation of $1,503,622.
Three permits were issued for new home construction. The first was to Mark P. Miller at 116 Fox Run Dr., for $300,000. Two were issued to Rhodes Construction for single-family detached new homes at 409 Robbins Dr., for $120,000 and 1419 West Lakeshore Dr., for $115,000. Both are considered to be “moderate size” of approximately 1,160 square feet. They are similar in design and layout.
