Pride Shines on Plymouth

Residents in the Kleinhans Community Assocation neighborhood are extremely proud of all the hard work that has gone into their community.  And rightfully so.  The streets are lined with various styles and sizes, but they all equal a greater whole; a neighborhood which holds preservation high and focuses on community strength.  That was evident while taking pictures Thursday.

One resident was working on her circa-1881 home painting the intricate spindle work of her porch pictured here.  She purchased the house in the 100 block of Plymouth twenty-five years ago when it was on the brink of demolition.  She was quick to rattle off the street's attributes.  Over the years she has breathed new life into the beautiful home doing much of the work herself including removing the asphalt roofing which covered the original shingles on the second floor.
