In March of 2003 Neighbors closed on a syndicated package to revitalize a historic row house and the surrounding neighborhood. The historic Emerson Place Row House is located in the heart of Watertown.
The redevelopment plan that has been packaged by Neighbors Of Watertown, Inc. centers around restoration of the historic row house. The interior and exterior of the structure was rebuilt including prominent front porches added. The dwelling units have been returned to quality family housing. The project renovated 7 buildings, provided 22 units of affordable housing, and was a major catalyst for revitalization of the surrounding neighborhood.
Emerson Place is a 1901 era row house on the city's East Side. The property contains 11 dwelling units and 1.92 acres of land. Over the years the neighborhood has filled in around this site with overly dense development, many absentee owned.
