Older homes were built to function as a system of repairable parts. The historic Leavenworth Ave. home, built in 1928, has already lost some of its vintage features such as its original sash and double-hung wood windows. We will be restoring some of that character with this project.
When utilized together, these steps add energy efficiency to the home, while keeping a piece of history out of the landfill.
