Property Revitalization Replaces Blight
20 West Fourth Street Tells Success Story
|
|
 |
|
| The Murphys with Mayor Randy cClement in the kitchen at 20 W. Fourth St. |
The transformation of 20 W. Fourth St. to a showplace brings to a successful close the story of the City's commitment to revitalize a blighted property. At the close of long and litigious process that included appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court, the City obtained title to the property. The City was then free to transfer the property to Sue and Lisa Murphy in May 2017, for $17,000.
From the attic (above left) to the basement, the Murphys (sisters-in-law) performed extensive renovations to the house.
They created a historic and trendy masterpiece that includes two bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a basement that serves a dual purpose as a laundry/utility room, and what they cheerfully refer to as the "man cave," complete with wine rack, wash basin, decorative whiskey barrel, flat-screen TV and gas fireplace.
When the City sold the property, the Murphys estimated therestoration would take nine months. Instead, they miraculously finished all the work in only five. The City is delighted that this property has been restored and is once again a contributing part of the downtown historic district.

The Monocacy Boulevard project and the effects of the road closure are a top priority. City engineers, the mayor and police are continuously evaluating potential modifications to traffic controls to improve movement along alternate routes. Already, the traffic situation has improved.
The City will have updates and suggested alternate routes posted on our website, on a page dedicated to the Monocacy Boulevard Project and linked to our home page, www.cityoffrederick.com.
Other traffic news - Pedestrian Signals
New pedestrian signals are being installed at Fairview Avenue and and Seventh Street.
The Leaf Collection Campaign is in full swing through Dec. 17. DPW will make several passes to collect leaves, but asks that property owners make sure piles don't clog storm drains or block right of way. Further details are on the website:
Storm Drains Essential to Prevent Flooding
Assistance from citizens and area businesses is always needed to keep storm drains clear and assure the maximum stormwater management.
The city has more than 5,000 storm drain intakes, and it is imperative to keep the drains open and cleared of debris to help reduce the possibility of flooding and prevent water from accumulating on streets, sidewalks and yards.
The Department of Public Works appreciates the assistance of citizens and business owners.
