In December of 2011, it was a pleasant surprise to learn that local businessman David Lanterman had purchased two derelict houses on Pulaski Street and had plans to restore what the community often called the "twin sisters."

It looked like a formidable job at the time, but the building trades class at Lincoln Community High School got involved with the first house, and this week Lanterman said sister one is almost ready for new tenants.


Sister  two is still under construction. Right now a new roof is being installed to protect the interior of the building through this winter.
