Summary

Invest DSM and staff spent countless hours preparing this home for a move from Brattleboro Ave to the prominent corner of Cottage Grove Ave to earn its address of 3102 Cottage Grove Ave.

After countless months of work from Tandem Builders, Sequel Architecture, ALT Design Studio and Invest DSM this house is complete. Built in 1890, this Queen Ann Victorian, will live in the Drake Neighborhood Association for countless years to come and serve as a reminder for all, that hard work and dedication builds strong neighborhoods. This is a legacy and a definition of success to all.
