Siena Court

 

 
 
       
Adaptive re-use of this historic orphanage involved retaining the unique angel relief on the front of the building, and resulted in for-sale condos, several with pool-side patios, as well as three new townhouse units. Phase three of a development which started a decade earlier (see University Gardens), Siena Court remained on-hold until the housing market skyrocketed in the late 90s and provided a perfect opportunity for several teachers to purchase these condominiums using the City's Teacher Homebuyer Program.
