Built c. 1900, the singular house occupies 1,116 sq. ft. It had been split into two units and was eventually abandoned and boarded up by the late 1990s. Kevin Brubaker later restored the property to a single unit in the early 2000s adding several features to maximize space, including a 3-story vaulted ceiling, extensive use of panel doors (one set hides a very small home office) and a drop-down ladder to access the third level loft.
Dru and Jeannie used the pandemic to change all the interior and exterior light fixtures with new and vintage Danish fixtures. The center, 1960s Danish pendant is mounted to a pulley salvaged from Jeffrey Mining and can be raised and lowered as needed. They added gallery lighting along the second floor catwalk and replaced the ceiling fans for their ability to uplight the peaked open beam ceilings. They also updated the window treatments and added a raised daybed to hide storage in the third level loft space.
