Historic Preservation Project - Creating Homeownership Opportunities and Saving Homes from Demolition

As part of the City's dedication to restoring historic structuresand commitment to meeting the affordable housing needs of the community, the Agency has embarked on a four-phase historic preservation project.

Phases One and Two involve seven houses on South Lemon and Water Streets and consists of the restoration/rehabilitation of one house already on the site and the restoration/rehabilitation of six homes that were relocated from surrounding areas. All seven homes are identified as Qualified Historic Structures and listed in the Anaheim Colony Historic District Preservation Plan. This project is slated for completion and occupation in mid-December.

Phase Three consists of the relocation/restoration of two homes onto Stueckle and will start when the third structure is selected. Phase Four, slated to commence after Phase Three is completed, will include the restoration of three more homes being relocated onto South Lemon Street.
