LINDEN HOUSE

This late 19th-century home, originally built for David Bachrach (a photographic innovator and uncle-in-law to Gertrude Stein, who resided there for a summer) was rehabilitated into a five-unit residence for mothers and children. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the site includes a three-story wood-frame building with a side porch and a one-and-a-half-story masonry studio in the rear yard, originally constructed for sculptor Ephraim Keyser. The exterior restoration features a three-color slate mansard roof, new wood double-hung windows, fiber cement board lap siding, and a restored elaborate wood porch. In addition to the dwelling units, the project provides a case manager’s office, computer lab, and parlor. Site improvements include an entrance court, ADA compliance, and parking. The project was funded with NSP2 funds.
