Ruth Street’s interior was designed to enhance the dignity and safety of residents. Dwelling units feature large windows and closets, solid surface counters, wood cabinetry, and other amenities. A spacious lobby with a variety of gathering areas and finishes creates a living-room feel and a welcoming entrance experience.

Ruth Street Civic House, which provides 44 units of much needed affordable, workforce housing in Kensington, is now complete!

Working with New Kensington CDC, Ruth Street incorporates materials similar to surrounding rowhomes and the nearby Orinoka Civic House to integrate itself into its community. A combination of brick, metal panel siding, and fiber cement cladding articulate bays that give the project a neighborly scale and respond to its surroundings.
