The Demopolis Area Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting Tuesday evening to celebrate the renovation of a historic downtown building that will soon house a bank and two new apartments.

The building at 124 N. Strawberry Street was redeveloped by Demopolis attorney William Coplin, who opened the space to chamber members and the public during an after-hours event so they could tour the finished project.

The restored building has served many purposes over the decades, including a florist shop, a dry goods store and even an indoor basketball court.
