Summary
The Rice House in Caldwell is being reborn — two years in the making, with foundation work now complete and a bold vision to house five emergency responder apartments and a public coffee shop. Originally slated for 2022, delays pushed groundbreaking to 2024, ballooning costs to over $300K — all while preserving historic details like original floors and glass. Neighbors worry, but volunteers are pouring in, contributing just a few hours a week, keeping the project alive on donations. With completion expected in 9-10 months, this landmark revival aims to transform a historically underserved corner into a safer, more vibrant, walkable neighborhood.
