So they may have misspelled his name, but the people of New Haven were so stoked about the historic renovation of Crown Street that the New Haven Register wrote a story about it and even made a video featuring a soundbite by your favorite project manager, Doug Hitchner.
These buildings were built back from 1875 to 1910, and Blackrock, along with PMC, brought them back "from the bring of destruction," according to the president of The New Haven Preservation Trust. We restored the original flooring, some beams and installed reproductions of the original unique windows in four buildings on lower Crown Street. A thrilled New Haven local history buff even wrote an editorial to the register praising PMC for saving bringing these buildings back to life.
The buildings, which have been merged into one property now addressed as 38 Crown Street, have commercial space on the first floor and 65 apartments on the top three floors.
To see what Crown Street looked like when we first got there, check back to this earlier post.
