Adaptive Reuse
It's always nice to present another heritage preservation success story. For years derelict, this cute little house at 24 York Street is now the home of Decorating Resource Studio. Built c. 1870 the two-storey brick structure has a sympathetic new addition at the rear and retains some decoration on its bargeboard. It's a Priority 2 on London's Heritage Inventory and described as the vernacular style. Just an example of what can be done with an older building when you have access to a little cash and good taste.

Funny choice to go with what looks to be a full 2 storey addition, but the original building still has its charming curb appeal.
