Rehabilitation of one of the oldest properties in Hagerstown creates owner-occupied affordable housing and catalyzes investment in the historic Jonathan Street community of Hagerstown, one of the state’s oldest African American neighborhoods.

The historic structure and qualities of the original cabin are preserved with enhancements to the envelope to create an energy-efficient and easily-maintained home for the new owner. The existing floor plan is maintained within the cabin and augmented by a modest addition to accommodate a new kitchen. Contemporary interior finishes and a new bathroom provide a comfortable living space.
