An old church building at the western edge of the city in the Franz Park (Dogtown) neighborhood has been converted into a single family with a “studio”, according to permit records (what type of studio is unspecified). The address is 2152 Blendon Place. The building was rehabbed for $32,000.

The new single family home at 4274 Flad in the Shaw neighborhood is nearing completion. This is the first of two new single family homes currently under construction in Shaw.
This site was once home to a two-family building that suffered a rear collapse. The building was later demolished. While some in the neighborhood mourned the loss of a historic building in such an intact district, the site was not vacant for long. The demolition of the old two-family was completed in May 2012; a permit for the new construction below was issued in July 2012.
