What we do know is that this house had been vacant and blighted for close to 10 years, and it posed a significant problem for the neighborhood because of that. The house is located at the corner of Sigourney and Sargeant, and Sigourney Street is a major thoroughfare into and out of the city. It's also directly across the street from Sigourney Square Park, a true gem in the neighborhood that in June 2013 saw the completion of a $700,000 capital improvement project there. The house was seen each day by thousands of people, and it had a powerfully negative influence on their perception of the neighborhood. Some shots of the interior from before we went to work -- these have been selected because they're easily recognizable and because they match up with some of the photos above. |
