From the Niagara Falls Review:

Last fall, the house at the corner of Broughton Street and Leader Lane was a tiny, four-bedroom wartime home, in need of upgrading and repair.

Nine months and some $300,000 later, it’s a three-bedroom, open-concept house with stainless steel appliances, a gas fireplace, laminate flooring with lots of light and beautiful landscaping outside.

“We’ve decided that we want to change the way Silvertown has been,” said Tim Parker, general manager of Ripley’s Attractions in Niagara Falls. “There are people who take a lot of pride (in their homes); it’s just a few properties that have been neglected. We want to kind of turn things around and bring Silvertown back to the way it was in its heyday.”
