An empty, aging eyesore sitting near the edge of downtown Gainesville soon will be no more. The old House of Kustom building, which sits on Broad Street near the corner of Maple Street, will be torn down to the cheers of downtown business and property owners. They say the building stands out against efforts to beautify downtown Gainesville.
