300 South 74th Street – The WERC House
The West End Redevelopment Corporation (WERC) acquired the tax deed to the abandoned home at 300 South 74th Street in Stookey Township in December 2023. WERC did an extensive renovation of the home in 2024. WERC literally uncovered the house by clearing seven dead trees and most of the overgrown brush, then cleared 240 cubic yards of detritus from the interior. The renovations included installing new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof, gutters, windows, garage doors and a 240V outlet in the garage for an EV charger. The renovation was completed and the house sold in December 2024. Click “Read More” for the story and photos of the renovation along with a history of the house, the first owners and their family hardware store (1923-1985) at the edge of Belleville in Edgemont.
