Green Revival

As part of the Partners in the Field grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, GHF moved a house from 2119 Ave. M ½ to 3101 Ave. Q. With the help of our Green Revival partners, GHF rehabilitated the house to become a model for energy-efficient technology in a historic home. The house is open weekends from 12-4 during October and November.

The Green Revival house at it's new site at 3101 Ave. Q.
