Old Armenian Town homes close to housing residents again

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The finish line is close in the decades-long effort to keep and restore historic homes in Armenian Town in Downtown Fresno.

Woodframe windows go into place at three homes in Old Armenian Town. One of the last steps in a long process to get the buildings occupied once again.

The windows in all of the homes are each custom-made to fit historical specifications.

“We came to find out that really the full wood windows that you woud’ve seen back in circa early 1900s were really important to the overall aesthetic of the building so we took out the windows and replaced them with brand new full wood windows,” said Scott Anderson, Penstar Group.

The homes didn’t always sit at their current location, they were built a block away on Santa Clara and N Streets in the early 1900s.
