On the evening of December 6, plans for the redevelopment of the Presbyterian Church at 30 Fern Avenue to be converted into 25 apartments were presented to the surrounding neighborhood at a community meeting held by the developer, Spring Hill Services.
The development will maintain the building’s historic exterior, preserving the facade and most of the original stained-glass windows while transforming the interior into 25 apartment units, consisting of nine one-bedroom apartments and sixteen two-bedroom apartments. The plan also features a fitness room for residents of the building and the addition of proposed courtyards to the exterior.
