The windows were delivered Wednesday to our Newton Spec Duplex! These are Amerimax 4500 Series windows – an upgraded, steel-reinforced vinyl window with European “Tilt and Turn” functionality.
The framers are putting the finishing touches on the shell before we call for inspection, and then we’ll start installing the windows. Check back for more updates on progress as we “Dry In” the house and get ready to start making it a home!

Great progress on the Newton Duplex in the last month. The framers have been working their way up through the 3 floors of each side, and we are close to completing the shell.
The next set of work – Roofing, Window Installation, Rough Heating/Cooling, Rough Plumbing, and Rough Electrical – have all been scheduled, and they will “Dry In” the building and while giving the operational “guts” to the systems that will be put in place.
As the work proceeds, we are making final decisions on exterior materials and interior fixtures. So much to do!
We are hoping to use this Duplex as part of a Blog series giving readers a chance to see the intricacies and processes that go into constructing a new home. Please check back for more info and updates!

2298 Clay St. was originally built in 1890 and has served as a printing shop, bridal store and everything in between. This building needed attention and a lot of TLC to become a space that the residents of Jefferson Park could enjoy.
A restaurant and brewery was the perfect fit for the quickly densifying neighborhood.
We had to take a unique approach in restoring and revamping the existing building – to balance its historic character while giving it new life and purpose. We restored the original brick (both inside and out) and glass storefront, while adding a new second story and roof deck to take advantage of the views of Jefferson Park, downtown, the stadium and the mountains.
Most of the materials used were sourced locally, including antique tin ceiling tiles, barn wood and bowling lanes.
Briar Common Restaurant + Brewery can now call this one-of-a-kind space, home.
Starting September 2016, their initial hours are 4pm-10pm Sunday thru Thursday, 4pm-11pm Friday and Saturday. Weekend brunch will be coming soon.
Cheers!
