Historic Charm Meets Community Impact in Asylum Hill
This rehabilitation project included four individual buildings listed within the Asylum Hill Historic District: three mansions and an apartment building. The project was initiated with Architectural Needs Assessment reports for each building to develop the scope of work required for the multifamily supportive housing conversion.
The scope of work included environmental remediation, an Energy Conservation Plan and historic preservation of character defining features. The three buildings on Asylum Avenue were previously used as office and educational space for a local Charter School. All four buildings are now exclusively for residential use, containing one, two, and three-bedroom supportive housing rentals for residents with varying income levels.

“They were a blight and they are beautiful right now...You can feel the difference in a powerful way as you drive down the avenue. It looks and feels different in an uplifting and powerful way.”
