94-96 Ashley Street

Probably built in the 1890s by Frederick Mahl, 94-96 Ashley Street is the middle house in a trio of matching houses, but it stands out from its siblings due its second story exterior porch. It is also similar to 30-32 and 34-36 Ashley Street, one block east.

Second Floor Kitchen

The spacious, well-lit kitchen on the second floor is original to the house in terms of its area, but the new butcher block, which includes the oven and storage space, was donated to us by The Hartford. The Hartford had it on display as a model kitchen, and it was great good luck that we had the perfect space to accommodate it when they offered it to us. We then added cabinets to match the butcher block, here and also in the kitchen on the first floor.

		Taking Down The Tree At 94-96 Ashley 10/28/2016 It's never fun to take down a mature tree, especially one as old and grand as the tree in front of 94-96 Ashley Street, but in this case we had no choice. We'd been advised that the tree was unhealthy, possibly dying, but as it turned out it had actually become a danger. When we started to remove it, we discovered that the tree was entirely hollow: the whole of the interior of the tree had rott

		A new kitchen for 94 ashley? 05/13/2016 A couple of days ago, Morgan Ferrarotti of The Hartford got in touch with us. For awhile now, The Hartford has had a model kitchen on display in its main lobby, but the exhibit is now coming to an end. Morgan wanted to know: could NINA use a new kitchen? It's not the sort of offer we get everyday, but Ken Johnson and MIke Stockman went over to have a look and take some
