41 PROSPECT NE. This brick Georgian was
built in 1915, and the current owners are only the third family to occupy
the house. Except for updating the kitchen and creating a master bedroom
suite on the third floor, this home is a preservation worth seeing. |
 |
52 PORTSMOUTH NE. One of three
centennial homes this year, this 1907 Craftsman-style home had been a two
unit apartment since the 1920s. Now a single-family thanks to the last two
owners, this home stands with a picturesque row of turn-of-the-century homes
doing their part to beautify what could have been a continuing sea of
pavement and curb. |
 |
66 COLLEGE NE. There surely has to be a
story as to why this house and the house next door were built facing each
other rather than the street. Built in 1924-25, this English Cottage-Style
home is filled with many little custom details that make it as spectacular
as many of its twice-the-size neighbors. Don’t miss this compact jewel. |
 |
536 PROSPECT SE. The second of our
centennial homes, this 1907 American Four Square/Craftsman-style home had
lost much of its charm over the years due to the stripping of many of its
endearing features. Since 1979, however, the current owners have restored
the look and feel the home has longed for and deserved. |
 |
544 COLLEGE SE. The last of our three
centennial homes this year, this 1907 Craftsman-style home has seen loving
and historically accurate care since the current owners began their
restoration. There are marvelous wood details throughout in quarter-sawn
white oak, as well as beech, oak and maple flooring. |
 |
310 UNION SE. Built in 1876, this
modest dwelling exhibits primarily Greek Revival farmhouse characteristics
with Stick- and Queen Anne-style accents. A major renovation in 1994-95
brought back much of the luster lost over the years. It is now a single
family home after a history of apartment dwelling going back to the 1930s. |
 |
417 CRESCENT NE. Built in 1882, this
home is a fi ne example of Stick-style architecture and is the perfect
setting for the current owners’ collection of antiques and gas/electric
light fixtures. A HUD repossession just over 21 years ago, this house has
become a Heritage Hill treasure of period charm and livability. |
 |
439 COLLEGE SE. This Four
Square/Prairie influenced home was built in 1913 on the site of a previous
home destroyed by fire. Once divided into two apartments, the home, now
owned by a retired minister and his wife, use those apartment amenities to
host young people in a mentoring, “community house” environment. |
