Amy and her husband spotted this beat up century old brick building that used to be a trolley depot back in the day and just fell in love with it’s look, feel and history. They saw tremendous potential in this bare bones space to be the start of something much larger. They renovated and added on to the top, sides, and back while leaving all the original brick and concrete intact. One year and $500K later they have created a new home that integrated the old with the new and will be sought out for many generations to come.
