The building that formerly housed the operations of The Hamburg Area Item may have a very different look in the future.

James Webb, 59, a Boyertown resident who is the former owner of the building and The Item, sold the property located on the corner of Third and State streets in Hamburg to Sinking Spring resident Bernie Phillips for $50,000. The sale was finalized on Thursday.

Phillips, 53, has plans of renovating the entire inside of the building and turning the structure into a restaurant/bar with a section that contains televisions and is geared toward sports. Renovation of the property is set to begin immediately.
