233 West King is proud and excited to introduce Joe Lemmon at the first Friday art walk, March 4th’ and the grand re-opening of the 233 West King studio.  The studio is located on West King Street across Hwy 1 from the downtown area. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Joe Lemmon moved to St. Augustine after 9/11. Joe has been fortunate to work on restoration of many historical projects including; Flagler College, Lightner Museum, Casa Monica Hotel as well as late 17th and early 18th century homes. This master carpenter stated, “I was always fascinated with how well preserved the original wood was.”  “I considered it to be a total waste, sacrilege even to give this wood its final resting place in a dumpster.”  “For this reason I am so passionate with repurposing these 200+ year old timeless pieces of history with my own hands i

233 West King is a creative space, working studio and is also the home of SAM (St Augustine Magazine). Yvette Monell, publisher of SAM is happy to be extending the borders of the art community.  The name Lemmon might bring to mind visions of fresh lemons.  Lemon art from local artists will compliment his home furnishings, and frames fashioned from the reclaimed wood.
