The site of the former Healy-Murphy Child Development Center is being redeveloped into a bar venue with a schoolhouse theme.

“It’s not going to be completely in-your-face back to elementary school, but have subtle characteristics to remind you of school — a fun school,” said Chris Coffland, a bar and restaurant industry veteran and general manager of Home Room. Wright owns the Northside restaurants Pacific Moon and Charlie Brown’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill, which Coffland is managing while he oversees work on Home Room closer to the urban core. Success! You're on the list.
Wright and Groleau are leasing the space from the property owners, an investor group listed as 517 Live Oak Management that purchased the 1-acre site in December 2020, according to county documents. Tax records show the property is valued at $2 million. The two-block district is named for Margaret Mary Healy-Murphy, an Irish immigrant who started a Catholic school for Black children, St. Peter Claver Academy, in 1888. In 1893, Healy-Murphy founded the order of nuns known as the Sisters of the Holy Spirit and Mary Immaculate to run the school. To house the students, the Sisters purchased the Dullnig House sometime in the 1940s.
The move allowed the nonprofit to increase its capacity from 100 to 136 children, said Doug Watson, executive director of the Healy-Murphy Center.
