Eyes Gallery has sold its original home to neighboring Jim’s Steaks, another iconic South Street establishment. Both small businesses were devastated by a July 2022 fire that originated in electrical wiring at Jim’s.

The cheesesteak spot, which recently shared plans for rebuilding, will expand into the former gallery next door, according to Eyes Gallery owner Julia Zagar — while keeping the artwork on the facade.

“I realized that Jim’s Steaks would actually look really good with a lot of mosaics,” Zagar told Billy Penn.

Some of the artwork — created by famed mosaic muralist Isaiah Zagar, Julia’s husband — needs restoration, and she said the plan is for Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens to assist Jim’s Steaks in that process.
