Final Touches Are Being Made On Christian Home
The finishing touches are being applied to the beautiful new Greencastle Christian Home located at 102 West Poplar Street. And, although there is some work yet to be completed on the first and basement floors, eight of the fiftynine apartments in the threestory brick structure are already occupied. In all, nearly half of them have been sold to future residents. The apartments range from one room efficiencies to three room suites which include a compact kitchen, large bedroom and living room. All the apartments are equipped with private kitchen and bath, and they have plenty of windows proriding a fine view. With the individual apartment setup all residents have the complete privacy of their own quarters, but also have the additional advantage of care and companionship when desired or needed. Space is available for an eventual twelve-bed infirmary
Another convenience in the home is the lounging and recreation areas, one or both of which occupy each floor. Most impressive are the eight solariimis, glasses-in sun porches which are located on the four corners of the two upper stories. On the basement level are a crafts room and a shop room for those who find recreation in sewing, wearing, wood work, or any of the various manual arts. But perhaps the home s greatest selling point is its excellent location with proximity to: five churches within a five block area, a bus station only one block away, the post office only three blocks distance. the court house a mere two block walk, and DePauw University with its many interesting activities a stone s throw from the front yard. Visitors are welcome to see this addition to the community
