I drove by this strange building on Lawrenceville Highway and am trying to figure out what it is.

It's up on a small hill and had a driveway that is on Lawrenceville Highway. It's kind of small, like a house, but it has a parking lot in front, but cinder blocks were placed on the driveway preventing me from pulling in to get a closer look. It's well lit at night with planters in the front. The architecture is weird, the roof is ridged like a castle or something and it has a bunch of columns and the base of each one has these things with big wings. From the distance I was, I couldn't tell if they were angels or gargoyles.

Typing the address on Google doesn't bring anything up except a listing for a 2 bedroom house built in the 1920's....clearly not this structure, which looks as if it may still finishing up construction.

Does anybody know what this is? The address is 2279 Lawrenceville Highway and it is on the west side of the road.

I live just around the corner, so I know it well. It actually is that 1920s house. It was actually a really great looking little house with huge windows across the front. They kept the windows and added that enormour stone canopy across the front. I have no earthly idea on what it is going to be. They have been working on it for at least 2 years here and there. I think it may have something to do with the landscape business next door. I really don't know though.
