Scarritt House Update
The William Chick Scarritt Home, 3240 Norledge, reconstruction is progressing nicely. Should have the roof in place by the middle of January. Which means time from fire to re-roof just four months. The third floor is completed. Below, sections for the reconstruction are prefabricated just a block away. I'll follow up with the raising (literally) of the roof in a couple of weeks. The home was originally built in 1888.

The Glow Of Christmas Eve
Scarritt Renaissance Neighborhood Association members placed luminaries around Concourse Park on Christmas Eve. Very lovely with the fog.
