Since I was over there, I also took some shots of the now missing door, which has gone to a shop to be restored. If you look closely, midway on the frame to the right of the door, you can see where the state historic plaque was.
The old house at 19 Woodland Street. Not sure how I ever missed this, but it’s very similar to the gable work at 115 Sigourney Street, and only in the lowest of the three gables.
Imagine more new homes here, like those built at 52 and 54 Huntington Street …
We are starting to work with the homeowner at this house, for a pilot project for what may become a new façade improvement program. The homeowner has already decided to install a new roof, and now we are working with her to secure additional financing in order to restore the historic façade of the house. The pilot is still taking shape, but we’re thinking we can help with securing state historic homes rehabilitation tax credits; help with a design, thanks to our newest employee, Karen Pannone; and offer advice on local contractors who can do the work. If this succeeds, we will roll it out to the whole neighborhood.
Installing new stairs into the basement. A never to be seen again view of the second floor bathroom. More ductwork on the third floor. View from the second floor landing into the basement.
Quick trip into the basement: headed into the door on the left. The big dramatic shot is looking up into the house from the bottom of the interior basement stairwell.
Framing mostly done – and ductwork for the new HVAC system underway.
Haven’t started interior demolition yet. No power, so no lights, so this was a bit of practice to get right with my flash. Included one self-portrait, because it looks haunted.
The walls are gone. Plus shots of all three staircases from the first floor, two to the second floor and one to the basement.
