A Turn for the Better

A Turn for the Better

We were afraid at first at what would happen to this 1907 cottage on McDuff Street (above the A1 market). Lots of torn out woodwork was dumped outside. Cheap, metal windows were installed in back. But then things took a turn for the better. The remaining wood windows, including two big bay windows overlooking Sunset, were restored and the wood siding got a beautful burgundy paint job. Inside, the wood trim, wainscoting, and cabinets have been stripped down to their natural finish. Looks like another old house has been saved.
