The Historic Frakes House renovation at 1936 Mapleton is bringing life back to the old structure. This picture shows the brick masons rebuilding the 20th Street side of the house. The wall was completely taken down and rebuilt over a new foundation using the original bricks and windows.
John and Laurel Hickman who own Hickman Construction are undertaking the restoration and expansion of this landmarked house. They are adding a basement and new addition to the back of the house. The house when completed will have around 2700 square feet above grade and a finished basement of about 750 square feet. A new 2 car garage with a with a 350 square foot studio is being built off of the alley. The project is expected to be finished around Christmas this year. The price is still to be determined.
