Most likely, the new exterior will also consist of white stucco on brick. The landscaping will also have to be redone to prevent future damage because the house sits in a "fishbowl" and water drains toward the house, Tarcola said.
"The house is classified as historical, so anything we do has to basically match what it was originally like," he said.
Empty for more than four years, the house is now used for storage.
"Its sitting there, not being used and that's a waste," Tarcola said. "We always need more space. We ought to, as soon as we can, make it livable so people can use it."
Jeffery wouldn't say who might occupy the renovated house.
"The most important thing, is to find an appropriate occupant," Jeffery said. "Once you find an appropriate occupant they will be an advocate and a steward of maintaining that building."
Tarcola said Facilities Management will finish estimating the cost of renovation in three to four weeks and will start seeking funding for the renovation. He would not give a preliminary estimate.
