Most of us appreciate
the beauty of Iowa City’s older homes. But, sometimes
that beauty can be hard to see if a home is neglected or
run down. This home on Bayard Street was actually condemned
and saved from demolition. In six months time, Frantz Construction
Co. transformed this house from a neighborhood eyesore into
a house anyone would be proud to call home.
The plan was
to remodel the home and add two major additions to create
a design similar to its original appearance when it was
built in 1928. Frantz Construction Co. worked to update
the house from top to bottom, starting with a new foundation.
Today, the new kitchen and the great room are the highlights
of this beautiful home.
This remodeling
project goes to show what can be accomplished to preserve
one of Iowa City’s more historic homes.
