PHOTOS: Historic Fisher Park home saved from demolition

Fisher Park house

Michael Fuko-Rizzo plans to move the historic house at 705 N. Greene St. to a lot he bought on the corner of N. Greene Street and W. Fisher Avenue. David Stone will build six townhouses on the lot where the house now stands, however, Stone agreed to lower the number of townhomes in the project from eight to six.

Fisher Park house

Built in 1915, the clapboard foursquare home at 705 N. Greene St. had not served as a private home for decades. Michael Fuko-Rizzo plans to move the historic house to a lot he bought next door. He will also rent a four-unit apartment building from the 1930s (background, left) at a much more affordable rate. David Stone will build townhouses on the lot where the house now stands, but has agreed to lower the number of townhomes in the project from eight to six.
