A former meat-packing facility in Eastern Market with a bright egg- and chicken-themed mural is expected to be largely demolished starting Tuesday, with one of its walls, its cornice and bricks from the facade preserved.

Beatrice and Eli Wolnerman originally planned to renovate the approximately 4,000-square-foot building at 1533 Winder St., but found that the walls weren't structurally sound and wouldn't last, Beatrice Wolnerman told Crain's.

The couple, whose business started as a gifting operation based out of their Grosse Pointe home, plans to construct a two-story building that incorporates elements of the old structure. They're aiming to keep the building looking "exactly the same, especially the front," Beatrice Wolnerman said.

"The scope of the project changed when we found out that none of the walls (including the exterior walls) were structurally sound so we are going to have to tear down and rebuild," she said in an email.

Artist WC Bevan painted the building's distinctive yellow-and-white mural as part of 2017 Murals in the Market. It wasn't expected to survive the previously planned renovation.
