Also of note; Lang Building Supply who originally supplied all the materials for the construction of the homes in 1908, is directly across the street. They have provided the vast majority of materials for the project, each of which were delivered directly and quickly by forklift. They provided the windows and doors and allowed storage at their location. The main goal of this project is to begin renovations of homes in downtown Brunswick. The successful renovation of this block will be the kickoff for this Workforce housing movement within downtown Brunswick Historic District.
