INTEREST: |
This home was the last residence to be constructed on
Swiss Avenue in its developmental period and it is the only
duplex on the street. The vacant lot, which once served as
the local baseball diamond, became weedy and trashstrewn.
It was a source of concern to local residents who
gladly waived the single-family home requirement so that
the structure could be built. |
