The 2-story balloon style framed houses that were rehabilitated were gutted to the studs and rebuilt with a new floor plan.  Original hardwood floors were maintained as well as the central brick chimney and fireplace that was left exposed as a feature element of the rehabilitation.  The houses were well insulated with new windows and following rehabilitation were sold to low-to-moderate income owners.  The remaining properties are maintained as open space to provide a more open feel for this neighborhood.
