City and state officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this week for Roxbury’s newly renovated Alvah Kittredge House.

The formerly dilapidated Greek Revival property at 10 Linwood St. has been turned into five residential apartments, four of which are leased to tenants and two of which are affordable housing.

The total development cost for the property was $3.8 million. The work was fundedusing historic tax credits. The project is sustainable, scheduled to be completed with the equivalent of LEED Gold certification.

The Kittredge House was built for Roxbury alderman, furniture maker and Eliot Congregational Church deacon Alvah Kittredge. It was also home 19th century architect Nathaniel Bradlee.

In the 1970s and 1980s it was headquarters for the Roxbury Action Program, an advancement organization for Roxbury’s African American community. It has been vacant since the early 1990s.

The Boston Redevelopment Authority turned ownership of the property over to Historic Boston after taking the house by eminent domain in 2011 to save it from further deterioration. The city has contributed several hundred thousand dollars to the project to help preserve the landmark and aid in the construction of affordable housing. Money was also raised through fundraising and Historic Boston’s Trilogy Fund.

"It’s great to see a house with historic value come back to life," Boston Mayor Martin Walsh said in a statement. "This is a beautiful project behind us. Boston residents just keep your foot on the gas. The preservation and restoration of an iconic building with affordable unites is done in a sustainable way."

The architect for the Kittredge House renovation was Amory Architects PC. The preservation consultant was Tremont Preservation Services LLC. The sustainability consultant was Conservation Services Group.
