\"\"TYLER — Work is underway to renovate Tyler\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s former Greyhound bus station into a new boutique inn that will serve downtown Tyler. According to our news partner KETK, the Greyhound Inn will feature nine rooms, five original upstairs apartments, two first floor units and two new rooms that will divide the building\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Art Moderne addition. Originally the building\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rooms were used for overnight Greyhound bus drivers, so many of them were fully equipped with bathrooms and kitchenettes and will be again once the renovation is complete. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I believe these will be the most unique hospitality rooms in all of East Texas, when finished. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to explain how cool these rooms are until you see them for yourself,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Andy Bergfeld with Bergfeld Realty Company. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153All restored to their respective architecturally proper period, but modernized with all the latest conveniences. They will be fully furnished with new furniture that matches the period of construction, Bergfeld added.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Bergfeld Realty Company is the firm behind the station\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s renovation. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been behind several recent Tyler renovations like at the Southside Furniture building and the People\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Petroleum Building.<\/p>\n

After the building was purchased in 2020, they spent 18 months working to have it listed on the National Register of Historic Places and working with the Texas Historical Commission to plan their qualification for Historic Tax Credits.<\/p>\n

According to the Inn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Facebook, all the historic numbers and delivery doors upstairs will remain to preserve the building\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s history. Those hurdles have been cleared and construction has come along way. Originally, Bergfeld was uninterested in the building because of its drab sheet metal exterior but that all soon changed.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We have been looking for the right place to do a boutique hotel for the last five or so years, so when this building came on the market, I initially didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have any interest, because the exterior was stucco and sheet metal, but little did I know the original 1932 Art Deco building with its 1946 Art Moderne addition was preserved under the slip cover,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Bergfeld said. The renovation and planned inn are all a part of Bergfeld\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s plan to turn Tyler into a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Destination Downtown.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
