Renovations

2360 N. Roman Street (Completed Spring 2012)

We renovated this 1940 Craftsman, 1400 square foot house inside and out.  Having set vacant for a couple of years and a liability to the neighborhood, it now serves as a “ministry house” for St. Roch Community Church.  The men that live here currently have a vision to use their house as a launching point to build life changing relationships with youth and young adults of the community. See renovation photos here.

1338-40 St. Roch Ave. (Completed Fall 2011)

Once a blight, this historic corner comercial double has been restored and now serves as home to Staples Goods Gallery. On the commercial side there are 6 artist studios and a modest gallery space. The residential side has 2 bedrooms and one bath. See renovation photos here.

1812-14 St. Roch Ave

We bought this 4,000 square foot double in 2009 and it was in really bad shape.  After 18 months it became a (large) gem and we sold it to a local teacher.

1810 St. Roch Ave

We bought this 780 square foot cottage in 2009 and complete renovated it adding many money saving features such as foam insulation, new windows and Hardie Board siding.  After renting it our for the first two year we are now selling it.

1734 St. Roch Ave & 1734 St. Roch Ave. B

In 2008 we renovated this 3 bedroom/2 bath 2-bay shotgun house that serves as the parsonage for Pastor J.B. Watkins of St. Roch Community Church and his family. Downstairs, 1734 St. Roch Ave. B,  serves as office space for St. Roch Community Church.

1738 St. Roch Ave.

This was an old corner store that we renovated and converted into a small church, St. Roch Community Church, in 2009.

1738 St. Roch Ave. B & C

This was a storage garage and studio apartment when we started.  Now the downstairs serves as program space for youth activities, church functions and other events.  The upstairs studio apartment is home to St. Roch Community Church’s Artist-in-Residency program.
