A series of entries designed to capture the ongoing adventures of NINA! See how we came to be where we are today, and follow along as we enter the new century of social media!
Page: 9Walls are up: kitchen, parlor, primary bedroom, and the porch underway.
I currently have several calls for photos for the neighborhood, so I took a walk around today and thought I’d share the results.
The Hartford Land Bank owns 287-289 Sargeant Street, a beautiful but blighted 2-family home down by Woodland Street. We’re interested – it’s right next door to a past NINA project at 291-293 Sargeant Street – and we’re talking to the land bank and to a local developer, Vintage Home Restoration, about the potential for a partnership to rehabilitate this house and create an owner-occupied opportunity here.
The insulation work is done, and now walls are going up. Also, a shower and tub!
A group from Fresh Start Pallet Products was working on the porch at 29 Ashley Street today. First step, taking down the old porch! At the same time, the house was being painted, and now the house’s final form has begun to emerge. In the afternoon, Bernie Michel joined in, helping to dig a hole for the footing, and that’s Ken Johnson over on the far right of that photo.
Noticed this weird pattern of sunlight on Collins Street, and then I turned around to see the source.
Trinity Health New England is demolishing the parking garage that sat at the corner of Collins and Atwood Streets. The work has exposed some views of the hospital that haven’t been seen in awhile! At least not from the street level. The garage was long enough that it cut off camera angles.
Rough electrical underway, and the exterior prepped for painting.
The third floor has been framed to include a door.
