Located in the historic Crown Hill neighborhood, this home sat vacant for 21 years. Restoring this home brought back an immediate positive social and economic impact on the value of the entire neighborhood. This house was the boyhood home of John V. Power - the City of Worcester’s recipient of the Medal of Honor.
