Parcel number P51030968120000, spans the corner lot and has a rich history of ownership. According to public records, the parcel was previously owned by Honey Bee Realty LLC, which sold it to HYDE BLOCK LLC for $750,000. Honey Bee Realty LLC had acquired the property from Urban Woody on September 27, 2022, for a nominal amount, following Urban Woody’s purchase from Mundy LTD LLC in 2019 for $100,000. The site has changed hands several times over the years, with earlier transactions dating back to 1994.

The Urban Woody Brewery building, a well-known local landmark, and the adjacent State Farm office, which currently houses the Lance Wood State Farm agency, are both part of this acquisition. The State Farm building, prominently featuring its signage at the corner, is a recognizable fixture for residents. The property is classified as an office building (land use code 447) with an appraised value of $39,080 and no recorded acreage, indicating a focus on the commercial structures rather than the land itself.
