Located at 511-529 Zion Street, between Ward Street and Summit Street in Hartford, the Zion Street Mutual Housing Project, a 24-unit affordable housing development, is a continuation of our efforts to make an impact in revitalizing the Frog Hollow neighborhood.
Our development included the acquisition of six properties including three buildings and three vacant lots in 2003. Because the vacant buildings were in a state of serious disrepair and represented an imminent danger to the neighborhood, they were demolished. Construction for a new building began in 2005 and was completed March 31, 2007.
The new building features the architectural style of Hartford's storied "Perfect Six" houses and integrates the efficient "Row House" design first found in Philadelphia and common in many urban settings.
Zion Street Mutual Housing recently won a 2007 Historic Preservation award from the Hartford Preservation Alliance. Good design and construction along with preservation of community character were key elements in setting this property's value and creating a desirable neighborhood that will attract further investment.
