Developments

In efforts to restore Westminster Street back to its once thriving condition, the West Broadway Neighborhood Association bought and restored the Dudley house. The house was transformed by local designers and artists into a showcase of twenty-five spaces, celebrating community efforts to rebuild its neighborhood. The design house was opened as month-long fundraiser from October to November 2003 to highlight and revitalize the life of the neighborhood and to encourage sustainable development and historic preservation of its inhabited spaces. From the proceeds of the fundraisor, the second floor of the house will be available for low to middle income housing, and the first floor will be open to below-market rent for non-profit organizations.
