Against the opposition of many residents, the Carbondale City Council voted Tuesday night to sell the former fire station located on Oakland Avenue.

It was sold to John Deas and Allison Smith for $50,000. They intend to turn the building into an artist’s space and craft beer tasting room.

Many living in that neighborhood supported a different offer,of $82,000, made by Josh Klarer. His intention was to transform the building into a restaurant.
