In Point Breeze

If you're ever in the area, you've probably wondered about the Munson Manor building at 1200 Point Breeze Ave., a decent enough looking structure that appears to have once been home to a bar on the first floor.

You may have also noticed the "For Sale" sign on the building, which

Last year, around this time, we told you about Patriot House, a housing project for disabled veterans at 1221-25 S. 15th St., built by CATCH (Citizens Acting Together Can Help Inc). The development, which consists of thirteen one-bedroom units and two efficiencies, was dedicated a month ago, and provides "chronically

Last summer, we told you about six homes going up on the western end of the 2000 block of Annin Street, one of the bleakest blocks in the neighborhood. While those homes were progressing, another developer decided to build a house next door at 2044 Annin St., and the sale

A reader tipped us off the other day that interior demolition had recently started at 1624 Annin St., in Point Breeze. On a block with mostly occupied houses and fewer vacant parcels than other blocks nearby, this qualifies as minor news.

The affordable housing homeownership development on the 1700 block of Federal Street, which we've told you about in the past, is nearing the finish line.

A reader checked in, noting that two homes were demoed last week on the 1500 block of Woodstock St., in Point Breeze. South of Dickinson, between 20th and 21st Sts., this little block has some homes that have clearly been tastefully redone in recent years.

Public record, unfortunately, isn't much help

A reader gave us the heads up that 1507 Dickinson St. was currently under construction. This home, located in the Newbold neighborhood, apparently caught fire since Google Maps took its street view photos.

The property was purchased by S&S Remodeling Inc back in April for $65K, and the developers are making

A reader gave us the heads up about 2050 and 2052 Ellsworth Street, two properties currently under construction in Point Breeze. One home is being rehabbed, while the other is new construction. Let's see what these homes looked like a couple of years ago:

As if the unfortunate new facade wasn't

This just in, from the shameless self-promotion department: OCF Realty is hosting a neighborhood cleanup in Point Breeze on Saturday, June 9th, at 11am, at Chew Park. But this will be no ordinary block cleanup. No, this one will feature (wait for it...) an educational component! Yes folks, before the

A reader checked in last week with some info about a property on one of the more rehabbed blocks in Point Breeze that may soon be in for a similar fate. 1740 Annin St. was purchased for $80K back in 2005, and has been listed at $60K as a short
