Description

This book is designed to inspire and demonstrate what’s possible when a group of people are committed to a single cause.  In this case, the restoration of a 120 year old orphanage.  The Holy Family Orphans home was vacant for over 40 years and in a complete state of deterioration.  It was dying.  (See the book The Holy Family Orphans Home – Abandoned)  With the vision and hard work of this group, the building has been restored.  This book is a photographic essay of the process and restoration of the building which is now Grandview Apartments.
