The Music Center Apartments are a three unit house on the corner which at one time housed a music school. Next door is the former Social Security office which is now a dozen or so small apartments for the homeless.

Music Center Apartments
The projects were overseen by Neighbors of Watertown. It's a nice plus for downtown.While for the homeless the small studio and one bedroom units are what many a single person of any age would like in an urban setting. Too bad the marketplace can't support that kind of housing.
I have always though the former Madonna Home up the street would be great for that kind of housing. Not everyone needs townhouse villas or garden apartments when first starting out in life.

Nicely done !!
I agree lets turn the whole Mercy into apartments. I hate to see a big hole there.
Ask some of the people from Drum what they can pay. Most will tell you they could pay $500 to $800 easy. Just not $1200 or more. A cap is needed.
Yeah but 2.1 million? I know its FREE MONEY, but NOW the buildings are off the Tax Rolls, and just what we needed more unsavory Folks in town.
5:55 ; i thought like that once, then I thought about where I came from. All people are human, you just need to know where to look.
2.1 mil doesnt make sense. My house cost 100,000. buy 21 of my houses and you can house 21 families transitioning. not single unit apartments. Govt and or govt agencies do not know how to spend money
"...and just what we needed more unsavory Folks in town."
Maybe they can start their own business and call it the Unsavory Cafe.
NOW the Truth comes out, Before it was a homeless shelter, NOW CREDO will lease space and NCTLC. Way to go...............More druggies in the downtown.
Neighbors of Watertown has done more to ruin our city than Urban Renewal.
If you build it then they will come.
As if we don't produce enough miscreants in our own brain drained county to deal with, now we have reason to truck in other people's derelicts. Soon enough we will be like Ogdensburg where people kill others with baseball bats but don't remember doing it.
