Since 1991, 3rd and Lindsley has hosted a broad array of musicians in its uniquely shaped room off Lafayette Street. Amid a wave of shakeups in the local independent venue business, 3rd and Lindsley owner Ron Brice says that he’s looking for a new space for the club.

According to a report from Nate Rau at Axios, the owner of the property has filed a proposal with the Metro Planning Department. If it’s approved, the building could eventually be redeveloped as an apartment complex. A change isn’t imminent; Brice explains that his lease isn’t up for a couple of years. He also notes that he’s got a potential deal worked out to move into Wedgewood-Houston. There’s no word on whether the venue would be renamed to mark the geographic shift.
