Dear Friends,
This blog is about a
neighborhood coming together to save a crumbling old house and turn it back
into a home. The house that currently stands at 1802 Madison Avenue, and
is known to some as "The Perry House," has been a part of our
neighborhood for over 100 years. Not long after it was built, it looked
like this:
The intervening years have not been kind, and
this is 1802 Madison Avenue, in Montgomery's Historic Capitol Heights
neighborhood, as it presently stands:
This is 1802 Madison Avenue as it could be (Many
thanks to Tom Kaufmann for the lovely rendering!):
Today we are taking the first steps on a long
and arduous road. At its end we'll have proven that the neighborhood of
Capitol Heights (and, hopefully, its many partners) has what it takes to turn
this house back into a vital part of Montgomery's most up-and-coming
neighborhood!
