HHP announces its next project, the relocation and rehabilitation of the historic Herkimer Arms. Designed by Charles and Henry Greene in 1912, the Herkimer Arms is the only known apartment building designed by the Greene brothers. Currently located at 527 East Union Street, the Herkimer Arms will be moved to a site owned by HHP on North Raymond Avenue just north of the 210 Freeway. The building’s historically significant features, such as the exterior gunite finish, terra-cotta tiles, built-ins, corner cabinets, and original doors, will be preserved.

The two-story Herkimer Arms will be converted from its current configuration of eight apartment units for Fuller Seminary students into two large, full-floor units. The first floor will be a 3-bedroom, 3-1/2 bath unit in 2,633 sq. ft. The 3,161 sq. ft. second floor unit will also have 3 bedrooms, 3-1/2 baths, plus a roof deck.

Pre-house moving activity can currently be seen at the Union Street site, including the separation of the building from its foundation. This is all part of preparing the Herkimer Arms for its move, currently scheduled for late September/early October, 2009.
