Love Comes to Spfld's Dancy Terrace

[John P]

It is just a few miles north of downtown behind the kfc on mainstreet. The cross streets are main/hubbard and 10th/9th. I have been told there was interest in workforce housing but no one could get a deal because of number of owners. There are old photographs of dancy terrace when it was lived in http://gallery.myspringfield.org/Other/History/18004383_4247Qw#1501480859_95ngJcP
It is hard to beleive it was ever that way there if you look at it today.

another great example, albeit a bit more upscale, is Bungalow Terrace (just off Swann near Hyde Park Village) in South Tampa

There are several older threads here on metrojax  when these homes were on the market.

Don't see how many of the comments would be out of place now.  Skeptics were proved right, they usually are.

^ that is why I think it would be better used as artist space, similar to CORK.

What's the story on this place? Where they just to expensive to pull off?

Until we (the community, the investors, the city) decide what to do with these bungalows, they need to be mothballed to be protected.

Let's hope more owners will take up our offer to help them mothball!!

Yep those $189k price tags were a little

I have contacted the listing agent of the 8 bungalows currently for sale. He is presenting an offer to the owner (not from me.) that doesn't mean a whole lot, but I asked if the agent would accept mothball and donation information and give it to the owner and he said he would. Doesn't hurt.

The mothballing COA application goes before HPC on Wednesday the 22nd. 

[sheclown]

yah!  The application was accepted.

Let's make this little bungalow look loved and valued.

(One down, only 23 left)

Thank you Ron, for trusting us to mothball your little house.

And thank you for grueling out a near 5 hour meeting! 
Yipee for Dancy Terrace!

It's finally here:  Dancy Mothball Day!  This Saturday, June 30th @ 9 am.

Help us begin to save Dancy Terrace one bungalow at a time. Join us June 30th at 9 a.m. on Redell Street and help with general clean-up and exterior painting of one of Dancy Terrace's bungalows. We have the final order for the mothball COA and are ready to proceed. Crossing fingers we will do this 8 more times at the end of July and into August, but for now it is one bungalow at a time. Together we can make it happen! Contact me if you have questions. Or email: preservationsos@yahoo.com
