Some Heritage Home Program
Projects:
This turn of the century
farmhouse in Chagrin Falls had its asbestos siding removed and
the original wood siding underneath restored. The family also
built an addition and had the house painted with a historic color
scheme. |
|
 |
 |
|
Through the Heritage Home Program, homeowners
are able to receive free technical assistance on all types
of household maintenance
issues, as well as low fixed rate financing.
|
| The Heritage Home Program can finance
a wide variety of projects. This newly built garage addresses
this
family’s need for more space and convenience while keeping
with the original style of their Lakewood bungalow home. |

|
Fourteen cities in Cuyahoga County currently participate in
the Heritage Home Program. Call the Cleveland Restoration Society
today to see if the program is available in your area. |
There is architectural charm in thousands of homes from the
east side of the county to the west. Historic homes are important
to our neighborhoods and towns and you can maintain and preserve
their character with the help of the Cleveland Restoration
Society.

restored with the assistance of a Neighborhood Historic Preservation
Program loan, 657 E. 93rd Street stands proudly today

Moving back to Cleveland from California,
this economics professor could have settled anywhere he pleased.

restoring his boyhood home that brought him back to the Glenville
Neighborhood. |

3815 Whitman Avenue
 |
|
 |
| The aluminum siding, inappropriately replaced
windows, and ineffective floor plan that might frighten some
potential home buyers didn’t deter the current owners of
3815 Whitman Avenue from taking on the challenge of restoring
this Ohio City frame home. |
|
Extensive plans drawn by restoration architect, removal of the aluminum siding
by one of the owners, and a Neighborhood Historic Preservation Program loan
are all helping to provide the foresight and technical assistance necessary
to get this project going in the right direction. |
3104-06 Mapledale
 |
|
 |
Even on a beautiful summer day, it was difficult to see the inherent
beauty that 3104-06 Mapledale Avenue possessed. |
|
With the exterior restoration nearly 100%
complete, focus can now be placed on the interior work necessary
to return this duplex
back to its original, single-family plan. |
