The Historic Smokey Hollow Barbershop building was removed from its original location and sat abandon for many years before coming to the attention of Blueprint 2000 Intergovernmental Agency in 2010.

The renovation and preservation of the structure occurred over three years to find, fabricate and retrieve historically accurate materials. The building was relocated to the original neighborhood in 2018 and serve as a landmark to the forgotten African American Community of Smokey Hollow. The building anchors the southernmost part of Cascades Park in Tallahassee, Florida.
