10 Discovery Avenue

10 Discovery Avenue is a building in Mandarin Village, Noble City. Originally an empty hotel, it was torn down earlier this year. Built over the site is a building with the same name, but is now a two-story house owned by Brady Smith and his wife Vivian.

As a Hotel
The original 10 Discovery Avenue was a hotel, the Mandarin Suites. Construction began in 2009, and ended the same year in December. It was seven stories tall, with three hundred rooms. The Mandarin Suites had a three-star rank, and feautured a ballroom with a grand piano, and balconies on all the floors, leading into the suites.

On the 1st floor was reception and rooms, the smallest in the hotel. The 2nd floor featured the ballroom. Floor 3 was mainly suites, a little larger than the ones on the 1st floor, but still only had one bed. On Floors 4 through 6 were large rooms, with two to three beds, and some even had a small kitchen. The top floor, the seventh floor, was the swimming pool and gym. There was also a penthouse suite, the largest room in the Mandarin.

On July 5, 2011, the Mandarin Suites were closed. A fire had ravaged all floors of the hotel, leaving behind a charred skeleton of a building. Two people were killed in the incident.

Demolition
The Mandarin Suites were bought by Brady Smith, founder and CEO of M &amp; M Incorporated. Smith and the city declared that the building would be demolished. The day of March 7, 2012, the Mandarin was completely taken down by controlled demolition explosives.

Reconstruction
Though the Mandarin Suites had been destroyed, a new buliding was to be built. Smith got permission from the city to build a two-story house for him and his wife. They sold their house elsewhere in Noble City, and began work on their project. Construction of the house began on April 19, 2012, and ended this July, almost a year after the fire had swept through the Mandarin. This is the new 10 Discovery Avenue, where Brady and Vivian currently reside;
