Art House Campus -Brooklyn Centre
The Wirth House, adjacent building and back Quonset hut make up the campus of the neighborhood arts organization-Art House. The buildings have frontage on a busy and historic thoroughfare--Denison Ave. The neighborhood is celebrating a bicentennial this year recognizing the first settlement in 1812. Art House has struggled with how to manage the front buildings, but the potential exists for these to serve the complex as apartment and gallery space for art residents. Cleveland Restoration Society has been a consultant to the organization and can help to repair the frontage with the possibility to catalyze from other major attractions in the area including the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Art House serves a broad demographic, but would benefit greatly with an influx of talent from graduating art and design students. The walkable neighborhood provides many amenities--including schools, shops, hospital, parks, churches, fire station and a library.
