When 26-year-old Tommy McNevin died in 2009, his family received a visit from their neighbor Seamus. Seamus, originally from Ireland, told the McNevins that it is tradition in Ireland to plant a tree in memory of a lost loved one. He planted an evergreen tree in the front lawn of their home on Restful Lane in Shangri La. 13 years later, “Tommy’s tree” towers above the McNevin household.

“Tom would give you the shirt off his back and the last dollar he had if you asked him for it,” said his sister, Jennifer McNevin. “He was a great guy.”

This 1880 Apartment Building Was Turned Into a Single Family Home

For a growing family, the design team at Studio Gild set out with a big mission: to convert three units in an 1880s apartment building, located in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood, into a single home. “The original real estate listing read, ‘All you need is a shovel,’” the Studio Gild team recalls. “They understated it a bit. The home needed a new kitchen, baths, flooring, windows, doors, stairs—new everything.”

The building was originally split into a duplex and a second-floor apartment with the kitchen, living, and office areas all in one large room. Behind the apartments were fire porches that doubled

Some other local groups like the United Way of the Greater Dayton Area also say they have experienced a large decrease in volunteers, though that is starting to improve.

The Maimon Memorial Garden is a designated, ornamental garden within the Edible Landscape Garden at Cox Arboretum MetroPark.

How one Black family is making inroads in the largely white world of historic home renovation

Any homeowner renovating a historic property knows there’s a possibility of discovering a surprise or two lurking behind the walls. Water damage, mildew, faulty wiring systems and more are not uncommon. But for Black homeowners, the surprises may be more than expensive or hazardous. Sometimes, they’re painful reminders of generational trauma.

“For a lot of Black people, we don’t want old homes, because we don’t want the history that comes with them,” says Jamie Arty, a Long Island homeowner. “Were they enslavers? What side of history were they on?”

Arty and her husband, Frantz, a tech engineer, are in the
