199-201 Sargeant Street

This two-family home was built in 1898-1899 by the same developer who built 235-237 Sargeant Street, Rollo Shailer. It’s a two and one-half story Colonial Revival home that combines a symmetrical façade and a square plan. This house was last operated as rental investment property by an absentee owner from New York City, and while it wasn't subdivided it probably was used as a multi-unit boarding house. The house had been condemned and remained vacant for several years before NINA acquired it with help from the Bank of America and restored it.

Project History

The Basement at 199 Sargeant 07/13/2013 We never seem to show any photos of the basements at NINA houses, and it’s high time that we did. These photos were taken by my daughter, Rebecca, who was handed the camera during our open house today.

A look down the pipeline 2/7/2012 Not sure if I’m impressed or not by this, but today I noticed graffiti scratched into the shingles on the dormer on the 201 side of 199-201 Sargeant Street. I think I’m impressed: it was clearly designed to be read from the outside, so they leaned out the window? Got on the roof? And, all in all, it’s pretty easily read, once you know it’s there.<

Thinking about a driveway for 199 Sargeant 12/9/2011 It’s a bit bold, perhaps even presumptuous, but we were in a “blue sky” frame of mind today and got to wondering about how to create off-street parking for 199-201 Sargeant Street, which looks to be the only house on Sargeant Street that doesn’t have access to off-street parking. There’s no room to run a driveway within the boundaries of 199 Sargeant –
