I rebuilt a Greene and Greene about 14 years ago that was in similar condition. The area turned into a rat hole and the owner rented to a lot of people all living in there at the same time. New owner bought it during early stage of gentrification and hired us to redo it. Fun, but lost lots of hair over it due to the historical folks getting in the way.

After so many years I still get a little excited restoring a mess like that. A project like that must have the right crew who like taking apart the little sihts, rebuilt them and putting them back. Not many trades guys like to do that. If that house was in LA, once restored, it would be sold within a couple weeks.


Hey, I know, sell a couple of early cars and sink it into it and drain your bank account too.
