Miniature Victorian Houses I Proposed For Dilworth Community By Jalyne Strong Post Staff Writer Ground has already been broken for Dilworth Mews, the first sub division to be built in Dilworth in 40 years. Sixteen to 22 “miniature Victorian houses" for single fami lies will be constructed on the site bordered by Springdale, McDonald, Lyndhurst, and E. Tremont, which is adjacent to the designated His toric District of Dilworth. The ar chitectural design of the homes marks a new approach to “In-fill development." According to Beverly Allen, executive director of the Historic District of Dilworth, “The new de velopment is a wonderful project." Allen is concerned with the archi tectural development surrounding the Historic area of Dilworth. “We like ro save what’s there and en courage new developers to be sym pathetic to already existing struc tures." She says the planned neighbor hood is "beautifully done." Allen has “long wanted high quality single family development” in the Dilworth area “It will certainly enhance the district,” she con cludes. “In-fill is when there is vacant land within a community or neigh borhood and a need to put some thing there,” explains Frances Gay, director of development of AEC, P.A., the project developers. What’s innovative about the Dilworth Mews project is developers. Doug Burns and Bob Bryan, approached the “in fill development” taking into consideration common sense, past history, architectural planning and urban design. “The homes will be very compat ible with the neighborhood,” assures Gay. The Victorian replicas Will be nestled among the trees of a steeply sighted terrain in the southwest corner of Dilworth, They will be characterized by gabled roofs, bay windows, shake shingle gables, or namental trim and mouldings, large porches, fireplaces, free standing garages and carports. The project will utilize existing trees and be complemented by open space amenities. Dilworth Mews is being handled exclusively by Renee Steiner of Merrill Lynch Realty. The houses range in price from $90,000 to $120,000 offering 1,400 to 1,800 square feet, two and three bedroom units with the option of developing the attic into a fourth bedroom. All units are being sold on a presale basis and based on the initial response, it’s believed the units will be presold within the next six to eight weeks. “At this time,” tells Gay, “there are still houses available.” Construction of Dilworth Mews is being handled by Rock Builders, Inc. Though building was planned to begin immediately, due to recent weather conditions, no grading has been done yet, reveals Gay How ever, completion of the project is still slated for June 1986 Braces for Children & Adults DR.
