Street Scenes

From: Brunswick: 100 Years of Memories (1990) BRUNSWICK HOUSE The long-awaited apartment complex for senior citizens was officially dedicated on Monday, March 24, 1980. The project was begun several years earlier and was almost abandoned because of faulty construction difficulties, etc., but it was finally completed and the 52 unit apartment complex, which is federally subsidized, was built by the National Corporation of Housing Partnerships (NCHP). The apartments are either one bedroom or efficiencies; all are unfurnished but are fully equipped with a stove and refrigerator. All have emergency cords in the bedroom and bathroom. Five apartments are equipped for the handicapped. instead of an elevator, a ramp system allows access to both floors. There is a recreation room on both floors. Brunswick House, at 1100 Peach Orchard Drive, was Brunswick’s first, and very much needed complex of its kind. S - Noel Shewbridge
