Completed Projects

14 E. Parmenter Street

The third PresbyBuild house in the City of Newburgh, 14 E. Parmenter Street is the beginning of something wonderful, a total facelift for this historic but long-abandoned neighborhood. Habitat took ownership of “14”, as it is referred to by those involved in the project, almost a year ago. This house has been transformed from a vacant, dangerous building, to an empty lot with a hole in the ground, to what we see today. It was built using engineered products in order to minimize material needed and time required to assemble the entire project. The IBEW Apprentice Program churned out a fully “electrified” house in one day, and the plumbing and heating followed suit. This house was built with the environment and the future in mind. We have used high-grade insulation, vapor barriers and high efficiency windows, doors, lighting and appliances. We’ve also used environmentally friendly exterior materials that will outlast most of us. The siding, trim, roofing, and windows will require little maintenance, saving our homeowners money in the future.  People say that you must have a firm foundation on which to build.  It can be said “14” is that for the East Parmenter Street revitalization now underway. Architecturally gratifying, cost effective, and built to last.
